About this opportunity
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has published a Special Notice for a follow-on contract award to provide asset protection and recovery services related to outstanding claims in Guatemala. This is a sole source acquisition under the authority of FAR 16.505(2)(c), intended to continue recovery efforts on an existing case where litigation and collection activities remain pending. The Product/Service Code is R418 (Support-Professional: Legal), and the applicable NAICS code is 541110 (Offices of Lawyers) with a $16 million size standard. The contracting point of contact is Travis Finkle at the Office of Contract Services in Washington, D.C. The Special Notice was posted on February 19, 2026, with a due date of March 6, 2026, and performance will occur in Washington D.C., Guatemala, and the Netherlands.
The primary objective of this follow-on contract is to assist EXIM in collecting outstanding amounts owed by obligors and guarantors through asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, documentation of agreements, asset embargoes, and asset execution. EXIM has justified the sole source award based on the requirement to maintain continuity with the original vendor, IA Group B.V., which currently holds the expiring contract and has developed specialized expertise in Guatemalan judicial matters and EXIM administrative requirements. Eligible contractors must be duly qualified and registered attorneys in Guatemala with full knowledge of the Guatemalan judicial system, prior experience with U.S. Government administrative requirements, and SAM registration. The contract structure is Firm Fixed Price with a five-year period of performance and compensation calculated as a percentage of recovered amounts under a contingency fee arrangement. Key deliverables include a preliminary case evaluation and recovery plan within 60 days of contract execution, extrajudicial collection attempts within 90 days, and semi-annual litigation proceedings reports if litigation is pursued.
Notice text
Synopsis – 83310126Q0009 | Claim(s) in Guatemala (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 - Offices of Lawyers, which has a size standard of $16M.
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.
