About this opportunity
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) issued a Special Notice on March 10, 2026, announcing its intent to award a follow-on sole source contract for asset protection and recovery services related to defaulted loan claims in Mexico. This opportunity, designated as Special Notice 83310126Q0020, is being published under Product/Service Code R418 (Support-Professional: Legal) and NAICS code 541110 (Offices of Lawyers). The contract will support EXIM's efforts to collect outstanding amounts owed by obligors and guarantors through asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, documentation of agreements, and asset execution. The contracting point of contact is Travis Finkle at the Office of Contract Services in Washington, D.C., and the deadline for submissions is March 25, 2026. This is a follow-on engagement replacing an expiring contract with Nieves Lliteras y Asociados S.C., a legal services firm specializing in Mexican recovery matters.
The primary objective of this follow-on contract is to continue recovery efforts for two specific defaulted loan claims (I200475 and I200549) that remain pending resolution under EXIM's credit guarantee and insurance programs. Contractors must possess full knowledge of the Mexican judicial system, hold duly qualified and registered attorney status in Mexico to conduct litigation, and demonstrate extensive experience with U.S. Government administrative requirements and EXIM policies. The contract operates under a contingency fee structure based on a percentage of monies actually collected, with compensation details specified in the Case Assignment Letter. Performance requirements include submitting a written recovery plan within 60 days of contract execution, attempting extrajudicial collection within 90 days, and instituting legal proceedings upon EXIM's written instruction, with semi-annual performance reporting and a 99% acceptable quality level standard. EXIM justifies the sole source award under FAR 6.302-1 based on the contractor's unique qualifications and the continuity needed to prevent delays that could allow debtors to conceal assets or transfer funds between vendors.
Notice text
Synopsis – 83310126Q0020 | Claim(s) in Mexico (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.
