The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office is seeking outside legal counsel to provide expert support in the evaluation, negotiation, and documentation of terms and conditions related to the underwriting, structuring, and closing of a loan for the Viridi Hydrogen Project. The legal services required encompass all aspects of transactional documentation, including drafting and reviewing agreements that formalize the loan’s structure, ensuring compliance with federal requirements, and facilitating the smooth execution of the transaction from initial negotiation through final close. Counsel will act as a trusted advisor to the DOE in complex financial and regulatory matters specific to this significant energy infrastructure initiative. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541199 for other legal services and is positioned as a forecasted opportunity with no set-aside designation. Performance will be centered in the District of Columbia, aligning with the DOE’s headquarters operations, and the point of contact for inquiries is Julia Lobue, the Small Business Program Manager, who can be reached via email. This engagement reflects the DOE’s commitment to advancing innovative clean energy projects through robust legal frameworks and professional legal oversight to manage risk and ensure accountability throughout the financing process.
