- Description
- The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to enter into a sole source contract with Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal, LLP ("Sonnenschein) under the authority of 6.302-1. The purpose of this requirement is to obtain legal services to administer the ABCP Conduit Program. The Contractor must possess both expertise and experience in building and structuring conduits and the student loan program. Additionally, the Contractor must be capable of reviewing, commenting on and assisting in negotiating changes to the documentation submitted pursuant to the ABCP Conduit Program and responding to requests for interpretation and analysis of the contractual components of the Program. Sonnenschein is the only known source that can fulfill this requirement. To the extent that there are other firms with the expertise and experience, their prior (and ongoing) representation of lenders under this program precludes them from working with the Department due to the potential conflict of interest. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotations and a solicitation will not be issued for this requirement. Any responses or inquiries to this notice must demonstrate that competition will be advantageous to the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement action, based on responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses to this notice are due by 3 PM (Eastern), Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Email inquiries/responses to Missy Hodgson, Contract Specialist, at Melissa.Hodgson@ed.gov and Sherese Lewis, Contract Officer, at Sherese.Lewis@ed.gov.
