About this opportunity

This Special Notice was published by the Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) on February 7, 2022. EXIM intends to award a sole source follow-on contract to Nieves Lliteras Y Asociados, a law firm located in Mexico, to provide asset protection and recovery services in Mexico to assist with collecting outstanding amounts owed on a defaulted loan.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide a justification for the sole source award and notify interested parties, though no formal request for quotes was issued. Services include asset searches, negotiations, litigation documentation, and executing upon assets. Interested parties could respond before February 15, 2022, but the award is reserved for the incumbent vendor. The estimated five-year contract value is between $XXX,XXX and $XX,XXX for due diligence costs. The place of performance will be EXIM offices in Washington D.C. and locations in Mexico. This follow-on contract is intended to allow the original vendor to complete recovery efforts already underway given the contingency payment structure and typical long duration of recovery cases in Mexican courts.

Notice text

Synopsis - 83310122Q0012    | Claim in Mexico 

EXIM Bank Washington, DC is providing a notice of intent to issue a sole source award to provide Asset protection and recovery as a Logical Follow-on to the current contract EXIM-17-P-0057 due to extended Litigitation times in an active hearing:

The Product/Service Code is R418.

The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541110

Offices of Lawyers which has a size standard of $11.0M.

Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/.

EXIM Bank Intends to award on a Sole Source Basis to Nieves Lliteras Y Asociados in Mexico 

The circumstances permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition is Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, and FAR 13.501(a).  

The intent of this synopsis is to determine if any sources exist, and therefore, no Request for Quote (RFQ) is available.  This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, all information received before Feb 15, 2022 will be considered by the Government.  A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon the responses received from this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Closing Response Date: Feb 15, 2022 10:00am EST

Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price

Description:

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 SOW.

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.

Electronic procedures will be used for this solicitation through Contract Opportunities at https://sam.gov/. Email Solicitation requests can be submitted to (Contact POC and Alternate Info).  No telephone requests.
