- Description
- Attachment 1- OPIC Terms and Conditions RFQ-REQ-891-17-0002 **THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT TO THE EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK ** This is a notice issued as required by FAR 5.203. Because this procurement is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, OPIC intends to award this sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for OPIC’s agency membership. The OPIC membership is available only through EIB. This membership is not offered through any other source. The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) created a global emerging markets risk database consortium designed to pool default and recovery data from various development banks with the objective of strengthening risk management practices among multilateral development banks. The consortium provides a consistent framework for potential partners to contribute their loss data through a common platform, facilitating enhancements and knowledge sharing. The collection of data is standardized, counterparts’ identities are anonymous and data is preserved on a confidential basis. The consortium is not run for profit purposes, but rather to provide access to data with specific characteristics, which is not available elsewhere in the market today. In addition to providing access to this narrow subset of emerging market specific default and recovery data, the consortium membership also offers the opportunity to exchange views, strategy and experience in measuring risk of default and loss given default with bilateral and multilateral institutions focused on promoting economic development in emerging markets and thus develop and improve best practices. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 813920. Small Business size standard is $15 million. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes; however, all responsible and capable sources may submit statements of capabilities, which, if received within seven calendar days of publication of this notice, shall be considered by OPIC. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice does not restrict the Government in any way to an ultimate acquisition approach. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AND IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT.
