What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Export-Import Bank of the US (EXIM Bank) is seeking asset protection and debt recovery services. This work involves collecting outstanding amounts owed to EXIM by buyers and guarantors in Italy and the Netherlands. Services may include asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, and seizing assets.
While EXIM Bank intends to award a sole-source contract to IA Group BV, this notice allows other interested vendors to demonstrate their capability. Responding to this notice is an opportunity to show the government that other qualified sources exist for these services.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for responses is September 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. All information received by this date and time will be considered by the government.
This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract, not a request for competitive quotes. The government will review responses to determine if there are other sources capable of performing the work. A decision by the government not to compete this contract, based on the responses, is at their discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms specializing in legal recovery services, asset protection, and debt collection, particularly those with experience in Italy and the Netherlands. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541110, Office of Lawyers, with a size standard of $15.5 million.
Vendors interested in responding must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).

Since this is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive quotes, there is no Request for Quote (RFQ) available. Your response should clearly demonstrate your firm's capability to provide the required asset protection and recovery services in Italy and the Netherlands.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even for a sole-source notice, a strong response can make a difference. Clearly articulate your firm's experience with asset searches, site visits, negotiations, litigation, and asset execution in international settings, specifically Italy and the Netherlands.
Highlight any unique qualifications, specialized expertise, or past performance that directly relates to debt recovery for government entities or large financial institutions. Ensure your SAM registration is active and up-to-date, as this is a mandatory requirement for consideration.
