Notice of intent to award a sole source contract

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), Office of Acquisition intends to award a labor-hour purchase order to Chatham Financial Corporation located at 235 Whitehorse Lane, Kennett Square, PA 19348-2497 on a sole sources basis for advisory services. OPIC intends to solicit and negotiate only with Chatham Financial Corporation. The Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition has been justified, certified and approved for Chatham Financial Corporation. The NAICS Code is 541990 with a size standard of $15 million. This is a notice issued as required by FAR 5.203. Because this procurement will be for commercial services and has a not-to-exceed value of below $7,000,000.00, OPIC intends to award this sole source purchase order under the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(1).

OPIC requires a contractor qualified to advise it on the existing hedge programs and potential restructuring of two existing sister-project loan facilities. The parallel structures include foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate swaps (or cross currency swaps). The projects are two large infrastructure project finance transactions. Chatham Financial has previously studied this project in depth.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the government.
