About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded contract 19GE5026D0076 to Jamil & Jamil on a sole-source basis for local legal services to facilitate the sale of the U.S. Government's Former Consulate Compound (Frere Compound) in Karachi, Pakistan, with an estimated contract value of $500,000.
The justification cites 41 U.S. Code 1901 as implemented by FAR 12.102. Jamil & Jamil has provided legal support for the property since 2003, including filing replacement title documents and renewing ground leases from 2003 to 2011, and was reengaged in 2023 to facilitate the marketing and sale strategy. The firm possesses critical institutional knowledge and established relationships with Pakistani government agencies (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation) essential to transaction completion. Services include ensuring sale execution complies with local law, obtaining necessary No Objection Certificates from the Sindh Government, coordinating with Pakistani government agencies, closing the sale, and registering the property title. An Intent to Sole Source notice was posted to SAM on June 1, 2026, with no responses received. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on prior competitions, market prices, and historical pricing. No formal market research was conducted, citing critical transaction timing and substantial annual holding costs (approximately $1 million) that would accumulate if project delays occurred due to contractor transition. Place of performance is Karachi, Pakistan.
