Description
This is a RFI for information only; neither NASA nor the Government will be responsible for any cost an organization incurs in furnishing this information. NASA is requesting information from U.S.owned organizations interested in providing intellectual property (IP) management services (such as patent valuation, marketing, assessment and brokerage) to NASA under a no-cost arrangement that could allow for revenue sharing upon license execution. Services may be provided to one or more NASA Centers nationwide.
NASA Center Directors are delegated the authority to enter into patent license agreement. At most NASA Centers, the patent licensing function is currently managed by each Center with the advise and counsel of the Center’s Patent Counsel and the Office of the Center Chief Technologist. The patents owned by NASA cover a broad spectrum of technologies relevant to NASA’s mission and such, represent the full breath and scope of the work performed by the Agency.
NASA wished to maximize the benefit to the public from NASA’s R&D investments that yield commercially valuable new patented technologies. Seeking no-cost methods to further advance the transfer of NASA owned patented inventions will introduce efficiencies and provide increased value to the public and NASA through the introduction of new and effective licensing processes and tools. NASA recognizes that there are many business models in the U.S. for providing IP transaction services, such as patent brokering, using a variety of difference transaction methods and platforms.
Interested offers/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet the above requirement should submit an capability statement of 15 pages or less indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein.
Please provide comments on the attached Statement of Work to be included in your 15 page response limit.
This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement.
All responses shall be electronically submitted to TERENCE.L.HAYNES@nasa.gov no later than December 20, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Please reference your Solicitation Number and Title to any response.
