Morrison & Foerster LLP

Morrison & Foerster LLP, doing business as Mofo, is a for-profit international law firm headquartered in San Francisco, California, that provides specialized legal services to federal development finance agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts, with no SBA designations or set-asides. The firm operates across 84 federal awards with a combined potential value of $259.2 million, with five federal customer agencies, and competes exclusively as an unrestricted prime contractor.

The firm's federal footprint centers on international development finance and trade finance legal work. Mofo provides structuring, negotiation, documentation, and enforcement legal counsel for complex financial transactions, investment funds, equity investments, and political risk insurance arrangements in developing countries. Representative work includes a $1.13 million delivery order from the International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) on April 15, 2026, for specialized legal services supporting recovery strategies and enforcement of financing documents for Silverstreet Private Equity Strategies under the International Legal Support Services (ILSS) IDIQ; a $438 thousand IDFC delivery order on April 7, 2026, for international legal support on the West Indian Ocean Cable Company transaction; and a $4.78 million definitive contract awarded by the Department of the Interior on August 1, 2024, for legal services supporting the Emergency Capital Investment Program with a time-and-materials ceiling value through July 31, 2027.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward development finance institutions. The International Development Finance Corporation dominates by award count, with 73 delivery orders carrying $62.1 million in combined potential value across its portfolio of investment funds (SDG Outcomes Fund, Water Access Acceleration Fund, Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund, Avaana Climate and Sustainability Fund, and others). However, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) anchors the dollar concentration: three EXIM awards carry $175.7 million in combined potential value, driven by a single $175 million EXIM-wide Legal Services IDIQ awarded May 15, 2023, and running through May 14, 2028. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation accounts for five awards ($15.7 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Treasury and Department of Energy represent smaller engagements.

Mofo holds two major parent vehicles: the $50 million International Legal Support Services IDIQ with IDFC (awarded November 2021, extending through August 2026), against which 70 task orders have been placed carrying $11.1 million in combined potential value, and the $175 million EXIM-wide Legal Services IDIQ (awarded May 2023, running through May 2028), against which two task orders totaling $680 thousand have been issued. The IDFC IDIQ delivers legal services for finance, investment funds, direct equity investments, and political risk insurance transactions across IDFC's development portfolio; work is performed in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. The EXIM vehicle covers legal support across Export-Import Bank office categories and permits task orders to other federal agencies under FAR Economy Act authority.

Recent activity has declined substantially. The firm awarded four orders in 2026 (through mid-April), nine in 2025, and fourteen in 2024, compared to twenty-five in 2022 and twenty-two in 2023. Over the next twenty-four months, twenty-one awards with combined potential value of $8.4 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete. The IDFC ILSS IDIQ itself expires in August 2026, representing a recompete inflection point for that vehicle.

Mofo's practice is 100 percent prime work across 83 awards coded to "Support—Professional: Legal" PSC (one award carries "Support—Professional: Other"), and 79 of 84 awards are registered to NAICS 541110 (Offices of Lawyers). The firm subcontracts to no other federal contractors in this footprint; all delivery orders are delivered by Mofo directly. Federal exposure is entirely civilian-side and development-finance-focused, with no Department of Defense contracts or domestic policy work evident in recent awards.
