E-MAIL: Tonya Kemp, tonya.kemp@do.treas.gov. The Department of the Treasury intends to award a contract to Fannie Mae, on a sole source basis, to assist the Government of Colombia's Fund for the Guarantee of Financial Institutions, with the development of a guaranty program and the creation of a semi-private mortgage securitization corporation. Fannie Mae in conjunction with the International Finance Corporation conducted a feasibility study commissioned by the Colombian Government which determined the viability of creating a privately owned secondary market institution in Columbia. This requirement will build upon the data and analyses from the feasibility study commissioned by the Colombian Government. Phase I of the requirement will assess current market infrastructure to support securitization of mortgage assets and provide recommendations on the business and operational requirements. The requirement includes an option period which will provide the methodology for creating a semi-private secondary mortgage corporation. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be made available on or about February 28, 2000. A determination by the Government not to compete this effort is solely within the discretion of the Government. See Note 22. No telephonic inquiries or responses will be accepted.
