CGI awarded modernization contracts in support of global innovation community at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

CGI Federal Inc. (CGI), the wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Inc. (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), today announced two contract awards from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Under these contracts, which have a combined total potential value of US$119 million, CGI will deliver operational, maintenance and security solutions and expertise in support of the global innovation community operated by USPTO.   Under one of the awarded contracts, a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) worth up to US$84 million, CGI will provide secure financial management services to USPTO to drive operational efficiency and support revenue collection through Momentum®, CGI’s industry-leading financial management, budget and acquisition software customized for federal agencies. USPTO is the first agency to use the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Management Quality Service Management Office shared services marketplace to contract for CGI’s Momentum IP solution and associated services.

“With Momentum, CGI has helped USPTO achieve meaningful business outcomes over the years, including supporting its consistently clean audits and its collection of more than US$4 billion in fee revenue annually,” said Alisa Bearfield, CGI Senior Vice President for Civilian Agency operations. “Our support of USPTO financial operations demonstrates CGI’s impact in the areas of technical and financial subject matter expertise, software development and end-user customer support services.”

As part of the second awarded contract, a new task order valued at US$36 million over five years under CGI’s Alliant 2 Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, CGI will provide development, security and operations support of USPTO’s Certified Copy Center (CCC) and Assignment Center (CC&A) products. CGI’s role will focus on modernizing systems within CC&A using cloud technology to support transactions related to certified copies of patent and trademark documents, and transfer of patent and trademark ownership. Patent and trademark holders will benefit from a modernized system that is more efficient, user-friendly and secure.
