Warehousing and Storage

The Export-Import Bank of the United States has a requirement to maintain custody and storage, in a secure, bonded facility, of 701 pallets of paper products (previously transported in 29 cargo containers) that were seized by judicial decree in December 2008. Ex-Im Bank intends to negotiate with Savannah Warehouse Services to procure the required storage services and custody of the products. It has been determined not to be in the best interest of the Government to negotiate this requirement as a full and open competition. This determination is based upon Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-2 (Unusual and compelling urgency). This is an unusual and compelling urgency in reference to the seized property and ongoing pending litigation. The cargo is already in their custody. EX-IM is just awaiting court order. Moving the cargo will not exercise business acumen. A delay in award of a contract would result in serious financial injury to the Ex-Im Bank. The period of performance will be for one year with two, one-year option periods. This is not a solicitation for offers.
