Legal and Strategic Advisory Services Refresh / On-Ramping #01
FHFA is seeking law firms to provide legal and strategic advisory services through a refresh/on-ramping IDIQ procurement, with any awards added to an existing multiple-award IDIQ vehicle for task-order competition. FHFA anticipates awarding multiple IDIQ contracts, likely no more than three, with an ordering period from the effective date of award through July 26, 2031, and task-order performance may extend beyond that date; FHFA reserves the right to make no awards. The work includes litigation and non-litigation legal support, such as state and federal litigation, legal strategy oversight, policy and regulatory advice involving the Regulated Entities, Office of Finance, and U.S. FinTech LLC, and expertise in housing finance, banking, securities, financial services regulation, Dodd-Frank, bankruptcy, real estate, antitrust, administrative, corporate governance, insurance, conservatorships/receiverships, insolvency, artificial intelligence, and privacy law. A significant portion is expected to be litigation, including fraud investigations; multifamily and single-family real estate matters such as foreclosures, receiverships, or lien priority; federal, state, and local actions involving fines, fees, or penalties; and issues related to the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac conservatorships. Litigation contractors must also provide court reporting, videography, electronic discovery, exhibit preparation, expert consultants/witnesses, and other litigation and administrative support as directed by FHFA; Attachment E has been updated with solicitation questions and answers without substantive changes.
