Description

The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) has issued a SINGLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION UNDER THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (SAT) PURSUANT TO FAR 13.106-l(b)(l) The requirement was to provide legal services from Squire Patton Boggs (SPB) for a period of one (1) year for Bratislava New Embassy Compound (NEC) site acquisition at the request of the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) in Bratislava, Solvakia. Total estimated dollar value for the entire period is $ 85,000. These supplies/services require that legal services be supplied to support the site acquisition for OBO and the Department. This will allow the Office of Acquisitions and Disposals to complete the NEC site acquisition. Squire Patton Boggs is the only firm reasonably available under the circumstances ton continue to provide continuity of legal services. Hiring another firm would cause a loss in continuity of legal services and, (1) seriously impair the USG's ability to obtain timely legal guidance informed by complete knowledge of the transaction documents and negotiation history of the past five (5) plus years, and (2) entail a large duplication of effort in order for another firm to assimilate all of the requisite knowledge of the multiple transactions, thus eliminating any potential cost savings of such other firm, while also improperly and unduly diverting the attention of OBO and involved employees from other critical projects in order to support a duplicative effort.
