The services will also include the provision of specialized legal advice to the Director of the OFHEO in connection with the Special Examination of Fannie Mae. These services include work in the area of mortgage finance, structured finance, derivatives, corporate governance, executive compensation, and litigation support. It is the intention of OFHEO to negotiate this requirement on a basis of other than full and open competition pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (C) (1).

All responses from responsible sources will be fully considered. Responsible sources cannot have provided services to Fannie Mae for any of the past seven years and must be willing to forgo the provision of services to Fannie Mae for at least two years after the completion of performance of this contract, unless provided with written approval by the Director of OFHEO. Responsible sources must be willing to provide up to 8 people on a full time basis for six months with an option of extending the work. The contract could be extended at the option of OFHEO for a total contract period not to exceed 6 years.
