About this opportunity
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) posted a Special Notice on January 5, 2026, announcing its intent to issue a sole-source follow-on award for asset protection and recovery services related to outstanding loan claims in Brazil. This is a continuation of an existing contract rather than a new competitive solicitation, with the award designated under Product/Service Code R418 (Support - Professional: Legal) and NAICS code 541110 (Offices of Lawyers). The solicitation is classified as having no set-aside, and the contract will be performance-based with compensation through a contingency fee structure. The contracting officer for this opportunity is Travis Finkle, and the Office of Contract Services serves as the contracting office located in Washington, D.C.
The primary objective of this follow-on contract is to assist EXIM Bank in collecting outstanding amounts owed by obligors and guarantors through asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, documentation preparation, asset embargoes, and asset execution. The contract will span five years with performance occurring at EXIM Bank in Washington, D.C. and in Brazil, and potential contractors must be law firms licensed in the Brazilian Bar Association with demonstrable experience in Brazilian legal proceedings and collection matters for foreign government entities. Interested parties must submit proposals by the January 19, 2026 deadline. EXIM Bank justified the sole-source award under FAR 16.505(2)(c) based on the incumbent vendor's unique qualifications, prior experience managing the specific claim, familiarity with EXIM Bank's processes, and the necessity to ensure fairness in contingency-based recovery contracts where extended timelines are typical.
Notice text
Synopsis – 83310126Q0008 | Claim(s) in Brazil (Follow-on)
EXIM Bank, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is providing this notice of intent to issue a sole source a 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.
