Description
The Office of General Law (OGL) provides general litigation and advisory services on matters concerning the administration and management of the USPTO. The parties have jointly selected four arbitrators, including Mr. De Treux, to serve on a standing panel to hear grievances brought by the parties.
For this procurement, the USPTO is exempt from the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) as the subject requirement is being procured using the Alternative Competition Method in accordance with the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG) and the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A). The full text is located here: https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-24316.
The USPTO intends to negotiate and award a Purchase Order for Arbitration Services under NAICS Code 541110 - Offices of Lawyers to Walter De Treux, 901 North Penn Street, F1201, Philadelphia, PA 19123-1317 for an estimated period of performance comprised of twelve (12) months. The anticipated award date is September 8, 2025.
In this instance, Mr. De Treux is the only known qualified source since he has already been agreed to by both parties. Accordingly, for reasons of continuity, efficiency, and fairness to the parties, it is essential that this arbitrator be retained to complete the matter.

It is in the best interest of the Government and consistent with USPTO-s statutory authority to proceed with this arbitrator through the conclusion of this case. Moreover, FAR 6.302-3(b)(3)(ii) specifically allows for the use of other than full and open competition to procure, “A neutral person, e.g., mediators or arbitrators, to facilitate the resolution of issues in an alternative dispute resolution process.”
