The FM QSMO is excited to share that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in the Department of Commerce, has become the first agency to use the FM Marketplace for its core financial system needs! For more information, check out the news release on the Bureau of the Fiscal Service website.

The FM QSMO worked with USPTO to identify and match their needs with available Marketplace offerings.  The partnership between the FM QSMO and USPTO shows the value that the Marketplace can deliver to agencies. The USPTO joins several other agencies using the Marketplace to acquire financial management solutions and services from trusted providers.

The FM Marketplace features more than 100 solutions and services from commercial vendors, federal providers, and Treasury’s Fiscal Service. Agencies can directly get commercial financial management solutions and services from the Marketplace using SIN 518210FM of the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), which serves as the contract vehicle.
