Indefinite Delivery Contract 77344421D0006

The International Development Finance Corporation awarded Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with a potential value of $50 million to provide international legal support services. Under this multiple award contract, Norton Rose Fulbright has received several delivery orders to date to support various IDRC initiatives. This includes orders valued between $39,900 to $95,500 to provide legal services for projects related to investment in emerging markets, global health programs including GAVI and social impact funds. Services have included transactional support, advisory work and litigation across areas such as finance, investment funds, direct equity and political risk insurance ranging from $1 million to $1 billion. Places of performance for the work are located in Washington D.C., Houston and other major US cities. No set-asides were specified.

Originally, the IDRC issued a request for information seeking industry feedback to define requirements for legally supporting the structuring, negotiation and documentation of transactions, investments and insurance in developing countries. The objective was to obtain market research to develop a recompete of an existing contract, with the anticipated award being a multiple-award IDIQ contract utilizing various contract types to provide transactional, advisory and litigation services. This would allow the agency to streamline procurement of specialized legal expertise integral to achieving its mission of facilitating private sector investment in lower-income economies through vehicles such as loans, funds and risk-mitigation.
