MCC Legal Support Services 2010-2016

The Millennium Challenge Corporation awarded this Master IDIQ for legal support services on December 23, 2010, with ordering authority closing on December 22, 2016—the vehicle is no longer active and ordering ceased approximately nine and a half years ago. This is a fully unrestricted, multiple-award IDIQ that served a single customer agency (MCC) across 27 task orders with a combined potential value of $2 million.

Baker Botts LLP dominates the vehicle with 14 orders totaling $1.3 million in combined potential value, while Pierce Atwood, LLP holds 8 orders valued at $675 thousand and Hills Stern LLP has 5 orders at $52 thousand. Baker Botts captures roughly 65 percent of the vehicle's total potential value, reflecting heavy concentration among a narrow prime base.

Task orders funded legal support services for MCC's country-specific compacts across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, including work in Ghana, Indonesia, Benin, Tanzania, El Salvador, Morocco, Senegal, Zambia, Malawi, Liberia, and the Philippines. Work was priced as time and materials or labor hours, with task-order ceiling values ranging from under $5 thousand to approximately $234 thousand. The vehicle awarded only 7 task orders during the final five years of its life (2012–2016), with a peak in 2013 of 3 orders before declining to 1 order per year through 2016. Of the $2 million combined potential value, $1.5 million was obligated, representing 76 percent utilization.

The vehicle succeeded an earlier MCC Legal Support Services IDIQ that ran from 2005 through 2010. Given the vehicle's closure in 2016 and the absence of a named successor in the source, firms seeking current MCC legal support opportunities would need to track new solicitations or follow-on vehicles issued after 2016.
