Standard Recovery - Guatemala (Follow-on)

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), headquartered in Washington, D.C., issued this special notice of intent to award a sole source follow-on contract for asset protection and recovery services related to outstanding claims in Guatemala. Identified by solicitation number 83310126Q0009, the requirement involves assisting EXIM in collecting amounts owed by a specific obligor, buyer, and any associated guarantors. These recovery efforts encompass asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, the documentation of agreements, asset embargoes, and execution upon assets. Performance will take place in Guatemala, the Netherlands, and at EXIM Bank offices in Washington, D.C.

This procurement is classified under NAICS code 541110 for Offices of Lawyers and PSC R418 for Professional Legal Support. There is no set-aside designated for this action. EXIM is utilizing a sole source justification for this follow-on award to the original vendor to ensure fairness and maintain continuity in the recovery process, which often involves contingency payment agreements and long-term litigation. This approach prevents a successor vendor from benefitting from work largely completed by the initial firm and ensures the government retains access to a limited pool of specialized vendors.

The response deadline for this notice is March 6, 2026. Travis Finkle serves as the primary point of contact for the Office of Contract Services. The notice includes two attachments: a redacted Justification and Approval (JOFOC) and a Performance Work Statement (PWS), both posted on February 19, 2026.
