Pretty standard stuff so far it would seem. But USPTO doesn’t follow all of the same procurement rules as much of the rest of the government.
USPTO’s special status came into play when the BOSS contract was the subject of protests by CGI Federal and Ascendant after they failed to clear a downselect phase.
Only it wasn’t a downselect.
The Government Accountability Office ruled there was no solicitation and rejected the protest. CGI and Ascendant argued that a request for information should be considered part of the solicitation. Neither company was not invited to bid on BOSS after they responded to the RFI.
