Cynthia Perry

Cynthia Perry supports the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in executing strategic procurement initiatives critical to modernizing the nation’s intellectual property infrastructure. Though her formal title is not disclosed, her role centers on managing acquisitions for digital examination systems, software platforms, and IT services that enhance patent and trademark processing efficiency. She ensures procurement activities align with USPTO’s mission to secure data integrity, improve public access to IP resources, and advance technological modernization through agile, performance-based contracting. Her portfolio primarily involves complex systems design and software development contracts, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Perry maintains focused relationships with specialized contractors, notably IP.COM I, LLC and Innovative Transducer Implementation, LLC, both of which provide niche capabilities in intellectual property analytics and embedded software solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in patent data systems and custom software publishing, often engaging vendors with domain-specific knowledge in intellectual property workflows. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-driven engagements rather than transactional purchases, emphasizing innovation and system interoperability. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with equal emphasis on Women-Owned Small Business set-asides and open competition. This dual approach ensures robust market participation while maintaining flexibility to source mission-critical solutions from qualified small businesses without compromising technical requirements. Her consistent use of WOSB set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs in the federal tech sector. Perry’s acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 513210 (Software Publishers), reflecting her focus on end-to-end digital transformation projects. She procures custom software development, cloud-enabled examination platforms, data analytics tools, and integrated IP management systems, requiring deep technical acumen in cybersecurity, data architecture, and user-centered design. Her work directly enables the USPTO’s mission to deliver scalable, secure, and accessible intellectual property services to inventors and businesses nationwide.
