Fraud Identification, Unsupervised AI, and Preventing Impersonations

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Sources‑Sought/RFI (Solicitation No. 135‑0034) to gather market information for its “Fraud Identification, Unsupervised AI, and Preventing Impersonations” effort. Respondents must provide a corporate overview (≤ 3 pages) and detailed corporate experience (≤ 8 pages) that demonstrates prior prime‑contractor performance of comparable AI/ML solutions for both commercial and government customers, including up to three references with service dates, dollar values, and performance ratings. The response must also include a technical description of the proposed services or product, integration approach, recommended solution model (cloud, on‑premise, or hybrid), sandbox/demo environment, and a cost proposal (≤ 2 pages) with a ROM estimate, preferred contract type, and pricing units. Additional requirements are a Voluntary Accessibility Product Template (VPAT), confirmation of prime‑contractor status for each reference, and discussion of certifications (e.g., FISMA, FedRAMP) and contract vehicles. All submissions are due electronically to Alan Elder and Bradley Beers (alan.elder@uspto.gov; bradley.beers@uspto.gov) by 12 Noon EST on Monday, May 4 2026. The RFI is purely market research; the USPTO may later use the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act (35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A)) and PTAG 6.1.1 Alternative Competition to issue a solicitation and award a contract to the vendors deemed most likely to meet the agency’s needs.
