About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded a sole-source contract to E.S. Shimron, I. Molho, Persky and Co. for local legal services in Jerusalem, with an estimated value of $860,000 for the entire period of performance.
The justification cites 41 U.S. Code 1901 as implemented by FAR 12.102. The firm provides local legal counsel to ensure compliance with Israeli law for the U.S. Government's site acquisition at the Allenby site and the Diplomat Hotel/Arnona site, and facilitates completion of Town Plan (zoning) changes with various Israeli jurisdictions and committees. The contracting officer determined sole-source award is justified because the selected firm has provided continuous legal support since 2002 and possesses irreplaceable knowledge of the complex real estate transactions, established local relationships with Israeli government entities, and familiarity with the embassy relocation project. The previous contract expired on January 14, 2026. An intent to sole-source notice was posted to SAM.GOV on January 13, 2026, with no responses received. The contracting officer determined the cost is fair and reasonable based on prior competitions, market prices, and historical pricing. Place of performance is Jerusalem.
