- Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Purchase Order for a Legal Opinion and Memorandum of Law Procurement Office: M/OAA/SIDP Response Date: August 10, 2015 by 10:00 AM ET NAICS Code: 541110 The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Acquisition and Assistance/Special Initiatives & Development Partners Division (OAA/SIDP) intends to award a sole source purchase order on behalf of the Africa Bureau, Power Africa (a Presidential Initiative), under the authority of FAR part 13.106-1(b) for acquiring a legal opinion and legal memorandum outlining the applicability of relevant laws and regulations related to potential private investment promotion by USAID acting under the authorities of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and related appropriations acts. This activity will be fixed price and expected to be completed within a two month period of performance. USAID's Power Africa activity requires a legal firm with securities law expertise and experience with USAID's sovereign loan guarantees and private loan guarantee practice. As such and in accordance with FAR part 13.106-1(b)(i), USAID intends to make award to Arnold & Porter LLP. The firm is uniquely qualified to provide this legal opinion and memorandum because of specialized work with USAID's sovereign loan guarantees (SLG) of the past 20 years and previous work on marketing of securities guaranteed by USAID into the U.S. market. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROCUREMENT. It has been determined that Arnold & Porter LLP is the only source for the aforementioned services that meets the Government's requirements and provides the best value. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting USAID's requirement as stated herein, may submit its capability by 10:00 AM on Monday, August 10, 2015, which may be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete the purchase order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All questions or comments regarding this procurement shall be addressed in writing via email to Jamie Raile at jraile@usaid.gov. The point of contact for this requirement is Jamie Raile, Contracting Officer, at jraile@usaid.gov
