- Description
- The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation,("PBGC or "the Corporation") is a wholly owned United States Government Corporation established to administer the pension plan termination insurance program created under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended, 29 U.S.C. 1301-1461 (1988). The Corporation may need to procure outside legal services from one or more qualified firms in New York, NY and the surrounding metropolitan areas through full and open competition under a task order contract. See 48 CFR 16.703. Specifically, the contractor(s) determined to be qualified under the terms of the contract shall assist the Corporation and its Office of General Counsel, with representation of the PBGC. PBGC and its Office of General Counsel may seek assistance on a variety of matters including litigation and negotiation of PBGC's claims, both in and out of bankruptcy. The contractor(s) must be able to provide a wide array of legal services. Although it is not possible to predict all areas in which services will be needed, the PBGC anticipates that it may seek assistance of outside counsel in the following areas: complex civil litigation; bankruptcy and reorganization claims litigation (including the priority and valuation of PBGC claims in bankruptcy); complex business transactions and transactional matters relating to reorganization; real estate matters and litigation; security arrangements; Uniform Commercial Code matters; employment law; administrative law; and complex trial. The litigation and negotiations may be lengthy and complex in nature. Contractors must be available to commence work on very short notice. Therefore, at a minimum, prospective contractors must have a Martindale-Hubbell "AV rating" for their law firm sufficient to meet the PBGC's needs on short notice. Additionally, all contractors must agree to abide by PBGC's policy regarding conflicts of interest. The maximum duration of the contract is one base year plus four option years. All requests shall reference Solicitation No. PBGC01-RP-03-0021. Telephone requests for this solicitation will NOT be honored. All responsible parties submitting a proposal will be considered by the agency. The solicitation document, including amendments, will be distributed through the FedBizOpps.gov web site. The site contains downloading instructions. Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the site to assure that they have the most up to date information about this acquisition. Paper copies of this solicitation and associated amendments will not be available. The estimated release date of this solicitation is July 7, 2003.
