About this agency
The Department of State, a cabinet-level civilian agency, advances U.S. national security, foreign policy, and diplomatic objectives through a sprawling portfolio of overseas operational contracting and foreign assistance programming. The Department executes contracts globally through its network of embassies, consulates, and regional bureaus, and distributes grants through specialized bureaus including the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and Public Diplomacy Sections at individual missions.
The Department's contract portfolio spans 853,246 awards since 1979, with combined potential value of $291.19 billion and $194.28 billion obligated. Recent contract volume has declined sharply: 32,197 awards in 2023, 27,675 in 2024, 18,848 in 2025, 11,400 in 2026, and 6 year-to-date in 2027. Over the last five years, the competitive landscape remains highly fragmented by award count, with Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees collectively accounting for 33 percent of recent awards. Thundercat Technology, LLC dominates by potential value with $7.81 billion across 530 awards, though the top five primes together represent only 3 percent of combined potential value — a structural signal that the Department awards heavily through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and modifications where reported dollar values are sparse. New TECH Solutions, Inc. ranks third by count with 4,737 awards valued at $224.6 million. The set-aside mix is heavily skewed toward unrestricted awards: 95 percent carry no set-aside designation, while small-business awards (all categories combined) total 3 percent, with 8(a) sole source at 1 percent and all other small-business, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB awards at 1 percent combined.
Representative recent contract opportunities span embassy and mission support services across overseas locations. The Department is seeking snow removal and de-icing services at the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest via an IDIQ (due November 4, 2026); room accommodations and conference packages for the OPDAT Southeast Asia Trilateral Meeting in Boracay, Philippines (due November 5, 2026); maintenance and repair services for leased housing at the Embassy in Mexico City with a five-year performance period (pre-solicitation, due November 2026); and garden maintenance services in Lusaka, Zambia under an IDIQ with base and four option years (due November 11, 2026). The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is marketing sources sought for construction security monitoring personnel including cleared American guards and construction surveillance technicians (pre-solicitation, due October 30, 2026) and law enforcement equipment including nightvision binoculars and helmets to the INL Office in San Salvador (due November 16, 2026). Two personal services contractor roles are open: a Deputy Law Enforcement Coordinator in Mexico City (FS-02 equivalent, due October 22, 2026) and a Senior Cybercrime Advisor in Abuja, Nigeria (FS-02 equivalent, due October 29, 2026).
The Department's grant portfolio spans 81,458 awards since 1999, with $41.91 billion in federal dollars obligated and $44.67 billion in total federal plus non-federal share. Recent grant volume has also contracted: 6,917 awards in 2023, 6,230 in 2024, 1,096 in 2025, 532 in 2026, and 2 year-to-date in 2027. By award count over the last five years, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees collectively represent 20 percent of recent grants, with American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS ranking fifth at 187 awards valued at $289.2 million federal dollars. By federal dollars, the top five recipients — Institute of International Education Inc. ($698.9 million across 86 awards), International Rescue Committee Inc. ($503.2 million across 70 awards), American Councils for International Education ($289.2 million across 187 awards), National Center for State Courts ($172.1 million across 41 awards), and HIAS Inc. ($166.9 million across 39 awards) — represent 4 percent of combined federal dollars obligated, indicating a moderately concentrated grant base dominated by international development and humanitarian organizations. The assistance-type mix is overwhelmingly Project Grants at 85 percent of awards, with Cooperative Agreements at 15 percent.
Representative recent grant opportunities reflect the Department's focus on commercial diplomacy, law enforcement capacity building, and public diplomacy. The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination is inviting proposals for innovative foreign assistance advancing U.S. commercial diplomacy in the Middle East (NEA/AC Regional Annual Program Statement, due September 30, 2026) and Egypt specifically (Egypt Annual Program Statement, open to rolling applications after August 31, 2026 close). The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is soliciting a grant for development of a software-based case-allocation system to prevent selective prosecution of organized crime cases in Serbia (due November 9, 2026). The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor is seeking applications for on-demand emergency support for freedom defenders facing imminent threat ($4.93 million program, due September 8, 2026). Public Diplomacy Sections at multiple posts are funding programs including English-language instruction for Iraqi youth (due September 3, 2026), media literacy and anti-disinformation training for Panamanian journalists (due September 13, 2026), and an AI research commercialization accelerator in partnership with Saudi Arabia (due September 14, 2026). The Department is also funding infrastructure for international cooperation, including four Global Cooperation and Training Framework workshops in Taiwan (due September 6, 2026).
