In accordance with PTAG 6.1.1, the USPTO conducted market research which included posting a “for information only” intent to sole source to SAM.gov. The results indicate that only Televic Conference US Corporation 7008 Virginia Manor Road, Beltsville, MD 20708 can meet this brand name USPTO requirement.
Televic Conference US Corporation is uniquely qualified to perform this requirement since the system installed is Televic. Engaging another vendor would require substantial increased costs, and potential risk to performance due to the lack of access to the proprietary items. Televic Conference US Corporation is the only brand and responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement within the required timeframe and without incurring unnecessary cost or risk to the proprietary components of the Government.
Consequently, per PTAG 6.1.1 (d) the USPTO intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed price contract with Televic Conference US Corporation. This requirement utilizes NAICS code 334310 and has a period of performance of base and two option years.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals nor will a solicitation be issued to the public. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to the following point of contact or alternate point of contact no later than 2:00 PM EST on 06/4/2026.
