- Description
- The United States Patent and Trademark Office, Facility Operations and Production Services Division (FOPSD), Production Services Branch (PSB), Remote Production Services Section (RPSS), leases 43,765 square feet of space for a secure, remote production, operation, and disaster recovery data center in a limestone mine facility in Boyers, Pennyslvania. The Lessor is Iron Mountain/National Underground Storage (IM/NUS), which operates the facility and maintains the security of the mine. As such, limitations are placed on the access to the mine and the tenants within. It is therefore necessary to procure mail delivery services to and from the United States Postal Service (USPS) delivery point to the USPTO offices located deep within the mine from the Lessor. This mail service is crucial for the USPTO customer requesting files from the Boyers, PA facility, and the USPTO has mandatory time lines for fulfilling these orders via the USPS. Sole Source Authority: The Patent and Trademark Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG) specifically exempts USPTO from the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA - 41 USC 253). Reason for Sole Source: Only one responsible source: the supplies or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements.
