Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with multiple prior EXIM contracts awarded to Varella & Advogados Associados under titles such as “Recovery Brazil,” “International Recovery Brazil,” and “International Recovery Services – Brazil,” including contract periods spanning 2022 through 2025 and values ranging from approximately $24,980 to $311,014.
