EXIM Bank plans a sole-source follow-on award for legal debt-collection and asset-recovery work in Mexico.
- **Agency and approach:** The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank), through its Asset Management Division, intends to continue recovery work on the same unresolved cases with the original contractor, Garza Gomez y Asociados S.C.
- **Services:** Investigate assets and credit, review legal actions, pursue extrajudicial collection, negotiate debt restructurings, and litigate in Mexican courts when EXIM gives written instructions. Work may also include site visits, documenting agreements, embargoing assets, and executing against assets.
- **Requirements and deadlines:** Submit a recovery plan and estimate within 60 days of contract execution; attempt extrajudicial collection within 90 days of the document date. Legal work requires appropriate Mexican credentials and registration. Filing fees require a contract modification and a written cost-and-risk report.
- **Payment:** The contract references a 15% contingency fee on actual cash recoveries. The notice does not state a total contract value.
- **Performance and classification:** Work is in Mexico and at EXIM Bank in Washington, D.C. The notice cites PSC R418 and NAICS 541110 (Offices of Lawyers; $16 million size standard). No products or quantities are specified.

### Description

<p>Synopsis &ndash; 83310127Q0012 | Claim(s) in Mexico (Follow-on)</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The applicable Product/Service Code is R418.</p>

<p>The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541110 - <u>Offices of Lawyers</u>, which has a size standard of $16M.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
