JOFOC for SPB.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for legal services from Squire Patton Boggs (SPB) for the Department of State's US Embassy in Bratislava, Slovakia. The procurement is for a one-year legal services contract supporting the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) New Embassy Compound (NEC) site acquisition, with a total estimated value of $85,000. The contracting activity justifies the single-source procurement based on SPB's unique continuity of legal services, extensive transaction knowledge, and established relationships with key stakeholders including the City of Bratislava, the Department of Transportation, MFA, adjacent landowners, and developers. The document indicates that switching law firms would potentially cause significant disruption, knowledge loss, and increased costs, and that no alternative firms are reasonably available under the current circumstances.
