The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has a requirement for management services for a Pre-Tax Qualified Parking Benefit Program, a qualified transportation fringe benefit (QTF) plan authorized by Internal Revenue Code Section 132 (IRC $132(f)(5)(C). The Qualified Parking Benefit program is offered to all United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) employees.
