Sherin Rabadi

Sherin Rabadi serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize intellectual property systems through strategic acquisitions. Responsible for managing contract lifecycle activities, Rabadi specializes in securing mission-critical services that enhance digital examination infrastructure, secure data systems, and improve public access to patent and trademark databases. Their acquisitions primarily focus on administrative support and information technology services, ensuring operational efficiency and technological resilience across USPTO’s core functions. Rabadi plays a vital role in aligning procurement decisions with the agency’s strategic priorities in innovation, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. Rabadi maintains consistent working relationships with a small but targeted pool of contractors, most notably IP.COM I, LLC and Innovative Transducer Implementation, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized vendors capable of delivering niche technical and administrative services tailored to the USPTO’s unique intellectual property ecosystem. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on firms with proven expertise in patent analytics, document management, and digital service platforms, suggesting a focus on high-integrity, low-risk vendor engagement rather than broad market competition. A strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Rabadi’s portfolio, with 66.7% of awards issued under the 8(a) Competed set-aside program. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster growth among small, disadvantaged businesses with demonstrated capability in government service delivery. The remaining 33.3% of acquisitions are competed without set-aside, typically for specialized services where qualified 8(a) firms are limited, maintaining compliance while ensuring mission readiness. Rabadi’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 561110 (Office Administrative Services) and NAICS 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services). These categories reflect a demand for document processing, records management, digital portal development, and information retrieval systems critical to patent and trademark examination workflows. Their expertise lies in acquiring services that support scalable, secure, and user-friendly digital infrastructure for both internal examiners and the public.
