Underwriter Services for Private Student Loan Tax Exempt Bond Issuances

The Maine government authority requires a USA-based organization to provide underwriter services for private student loan tax-exempt bond issuances. The selected vendor must manage the overall underwriting process and recommend financial structures that minimize borrowing costs, financial risks, and issuance costs. Duties include assisting the authority with task identification and schedule coordination, preparing cash flow analyses for management and stressed cases, obtaining bids for additional transaction service providers, and facilitating pre-pricing discussions. The vendor must also pre-market, price, market, and coordinate the sale and closing of the securities, while offering ongoing underwriting advice upon request. The work requires offsite performance. Bidders must submit all questions no later than October 7, 2026. The buyer is looking for proposals regarding the budget and does not provide specific evaluation criteria or additional key dates.
