Patent Technical Services (PTS)

The United States Department of Commerce is seeking to gather market information about vendor capabilities and experience in processing, tracking, and reviewing complex federal records. The USPTO has included a draft Statement of Work (SOW) that outlines the requirements for Patent Technical Services (PTS). The Government will review RFI responses to determine which vendor(s) are most likely to successfully meet the agency's requirements. • The RFI is intended as preliminary market information gathering. • The USPTO will use the RFI responses to determine which vendor(s) are eligible to participate in an alternative competition. • Vendors that do not respond to the RFI will not be considered for the alternative competition. • Submission of an RFI response does not guarantee a vendor's eligibility to compete for PTS.
