The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) has established a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Outside Legal Support Services, designed to provide the agency with flexible access to specialized legal counsel. The contract supports PBGC's mission of insuring private-sector defined benefit pension plans by enabling the procurement of outside legal services from multiple qualified law firms. With a shared ceiling value of $78 million and an initial period through March 2020, the IDIQ vehicle allows PBGC to obtain targeted legal support across its various programs on an as-needed basis. The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly involve legal services with firm fixed price and labor hour pricing structures, with delivery order values ranging from $15,000 to $57,960. Prime contractors include Dentons US LLP, Schafer And Weiner PLLC, Kutak Rock LLP, Brown Rudnick LLP, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, Locke Lord LLP, Reed Smith LLP, and Kelley Drye & Warren LLP. Most task orders are set for performance in Washington, D.C., with periods ranging from one to two years. No set-aside designations were used in the awarded task orders, indicating open competition among qualified legal firms. The majority of orders appear to be minimum guarantee or retainer-type arrangements to ensure immediate legal support availability for PBGC's pension insurance programs.
