    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source contract by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) for legal services related to debt collection against foreign buyers. It discusses the need for a contractor with specific expertise in locating hidden assets, handling legal risks associated with foreign government entities, and managing complex U.S. Government administrative requirements. The rationale includes the urgency of quickly assigning claims without a familiarization period, improving recovery efforts, and minimizing taxpayer disadvantages that could arise from delays in processing claims. No other sources expressed interest in this acquisition, and the agency does not plan to seek competition for similar future contracts unless other potential suppliers emerge. The document concludes with a certification of the requirement's authenticity and the obligations of the contracting officer, reinforcing the critical nature of the services needed for the EXIM Bank's mission.
