Description
The Export‑Import Bank of the United States is seeking to establish one or more Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to provide legal‑recovery services on its credit‑guarantee and insurance claims located in Brazil. The BPA will be “case‑by‑case,” with each call/order requiring a due‑diligence investigation (fixed fee) and, upon successful recovery, a contingency fee based on recovered principal. Vendors must be qualified women‑owned small businesses (WOSB/EDWOSB) under NAICS 541110, capable of managing U.S. and Brazilian legal counsel, and must comply with extensive FAR clauses (telecom restrictions, DEI, COVID‑19, security, etc.). No guaranteed minimum volume is promised; the estimated aggregate ordering ceiling is roughly $7.5 million over the five‑year period.
• Core services: per‑case due‑diligence investigations, extrajudicial collection, and contingency‑based litigation/recovery for EXIM claims in Brazil.
• Contract structure: BPA with two CLINs – CLIN 0001 (fixed due‑diligence fee) and CLIN 0002 (percentage of recovered assets).
• Eligibility: Women‑owned small business (WOSB/EDWOSB) with proven experience in Brazilian legal matters; must provide past‑performance evidence for both prime and any subcontracted/local counsel.
• Timeline: Questions due Oct 13 2026; quotation due Oct 22 2026; BPA effective Nov 15 2026 (or Nov 1 2026 per Q&A) and runs for five years.
• Mandatory compliance: prior written approval for any extraordinary expense, use of government‑furnished property, secure remote‑work protocols, and adherence to prohibitions on certain telecom equipment and TikTok applications.
