Legal Attache US Embassy Japan

The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Legal Attaché U.S. Embassy Japan is a civilian sub-agency that procures goods and services in support of FBI law-enforcement operations at the Tokyo embassy and other diplomatic posts in Japan. The Legal Attaché functions as a regional procurement node within the FBI's international presence, sourcing supplies, local services, and administrative support through federal contract awards.

The Legal Attaché has executed 118 federal contract awards since August 2013, with a combined award potential value of $16.6 million and $9.4 million in obligated dollars. Recent contract activity shows a declining trend: 6 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 1 so far in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is January 1, 2026.

Competitive concentration among prime contractors is highly fragmented over the last five years. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees lead by award count with 7 recent awards totaling $228 thousand in combined potential value, followed by Truebell Marketing & Trading LLC with 2 awards and $139 thousand. The top five awardees by count account for only 63 percent of recent awards, and by potential value the top five represent just 3 percent of the combined value in the window. Across the portfolio, 34 distinct prime contractors have been awarded. The low by-value concentration reflects the agency's reliance on small, local foreign vendors and service providers rather than large multinational contractors — many awards are below $100 thousand in potential value.

The set-aside mix is minimal: 95 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, and only 5 percent are small-business set-asides. This distribution is consistent with procurement from foreign vendors and the local sourcing requirements typical of embassy-based operations in Japan.

No recent contract opportunities are on file against the Legal Attaché. No grant activity is recorded against the agency or its descendant offices.
