About this opportunity
The Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) has issued a Special Notice for a sole source follow-on contract to provide asset protection and recovery services in Brazil. The contract, identified as 83310125Q0023, is specifically focused on collecting outstanding amounts owed to EXIM Bank by an obligor/buyer and associated guarantors. The opportunity is classified under the NAICS code 541110 (Office of Lawyers) with a size standard of $15.5 million. The contract will be awarded to the original vendor, Varella & Advogados Associados, based on the ongoing nature of the recovery action and the contingency payment agreement. The contract performance will take place at EXIM Bank in Washington, D.C. and in Brazil.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to continue legal recovery efforts for a specific EXIM Bank claim (No. G083384) in Brazil, with services including asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, and potential asset embargoing. The contract will be awarded on a sole source basis, following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(2)(c) guidelines, which allow for follow-on contracts when recovery actions are still pending. Contractors must be prepared to conduct comprehensive due diligence, engage in extrajudicial collection efforts, and potentially initiate legal proceedings within Brazilian legal frameworks. The contract operates on a contingency fee basis, with all recovered funds to be remitted directly to EXIM Bank. Key deadlines include a posting date of April 24, 2025, and a response due date of May 12, 2025. The contracting point of contact is Travis Finkle, who can be reached at Travis.Finkle@exim.gov for additional information or inquiries.
Notice text
Synopsis – 83310125Q0023 | Claim in Brazil (Follow-on)
EXIM Bank, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is providing this notice of intent to issue a sole source follow-on award to provide asset protection and recovery services.
The applicable Product/Service Code is R418.
The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541110 - Office of Lawyers, which has a size standard of $15.5M.
This requirement is to assist EXIM in its efforts to collect outstanding amounts owed to EXIM by the obligor/buyer and all guarantors, if any. These efforts will include, as EXIM may direct, asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, documentation of agreements, embargoing assets and executing upon assets. See attached PWS.
When an individual AMD recovery contract ends but the recovery action is still pending resolution, we award follow-on contracts on a sole source basis to the original vendor (per FAR 16.505(2)(c)) as long as it is for the same recovery case(s). The rationale for this is the combination of contingency payment agreement and the frequent long length of the recovery process. With limited vendor availability, if we did not follow this practice, the original vendor could perform most of the work and the subsequent vendor would reap the rewards of any funds recovered. By awarding follow-on contracts in this manner, we establish fairness for the vendors in an unusual situation, retain good relations with a limited vendor pool for future needs, and therefore get the best long-term benefit to the government.
