Quick Summary

The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait has issued a Sole Source Justification for Attorney Services related to the Kuwait Buffer Zone Land Rights Registration project. This justification supports the award of a new Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Al Adwani Law Firm on a sole-source basis. The total estimated cost for this acquisition will not exceed $75,000.00.

Scope of Work

The contract will provide legal services on an as-needed basis for one year, through task orders. Required services include:

  • Legal advisory on real estate transactions.
  • Negotiations with the Government of Kuwait and private entities.
  • Drafting and reviewing contracts and legal documents.
  • Due diligence and legal risk assessment for property acquisition.
  • Representation in legal matters related to the buffer zone project.

Contract Details

  • Type: Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Sole Source
  • Awardee: Al Adwani Law Firm
  • Estimated Value: Not to exceed $75,000.00
  • Duration: One year
  • Set-Aside: Not Applicable (Sole Source)
  • Published: March 10, 2026

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.
