Patent Technical Services (PTS)

The United States Department of Commerce, USPTO, is seeking information from vendors capable of processing, tracking, and reviewing complex federal records. This Request for Information (RFI) is to gather market information and identify qualified vendors for a potential alternative competition. The draft Statement of Work (SOW) outlines requirements for ten task areas including copying, document receipt and mailing, incoming mail processing (including PDF scanning and fax exception processing), fee collection, application review (new and follow-on), PCT processing, and project management. The USPTO intends to utilize the Alternative Competition Method as outlined in the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines and the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act. Responses to this RFI will determine which vendors are eligible to participate in the subsequent solicitation, indicating a limited competition will follow.
