Contract Details

- Awardee: Al Adwani Law Firm
- Estimated Value: Not to exceed $75,000.00
- Duration: One year
- Set-Aside: Not Applicable (Sole Source)

Justification for Sole Source
The sole-source award to Al Adwani Law Firm is deemed necessary due to critical factors:
- Continuity of Service: The firm was the contractor for the prior IDIQ and is uniquely positioned to continue advising without interruption, preventing delays and setbacks in ongoing negotiations with the Government of Kuwait.
- Historical and Technical Expertise: Al Adwani Law Firm possesses in-depth knowledge of the buffer zone project, prior transactions, and specialized real estate law, Kuwaiti property regulations, and high-level government negotiations.
- Urgency of Requirement: A change in legal representation would cause delays, disrupt negotiations, and potentially impact critical real estate acquisitions for the project's success.
