Wireless Signal Integration Services

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has an immediate requirement for continued wireless integration services at the USPTO campus. This requirement is in support of the Communications Services Branch, Office of the Chief Information Officer (NAICS code 541519). The period of performance is May 24, 2015 through August 24, 2015, with an estimated value of $44,445.00. The USPTO is exempt from the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) under the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act, 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A) and the subject requirement is being procured using the Alternative Competition Method as described in the Patent and Trademark Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG) https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-24316 In accordance with the PTAG, the USPTO conducted market research and the results indicate that only a limited number of vendors are most likely to successfully meet the agency's needs. This award is considered a logical follow-on to a previously competed requirement for similar wireless integration services. As a result, the solicitation will only be issued to the limited number of vendors determined to be qualified at the time of the prior award(s) in order to maintain continuity of services. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
