US Consulate Karachi

The Department of State US Consulate Karachi is a civilian sub-agency of the Department of State responsible for federal contracting and procurement activities supporting diplomatic and consular operations in Karachi, Pakistan. The Consulate operates as a subordinate diplomatic post and conducts contract awards on a highly limited basis, reflecting the operational constraints and mission scope of a single consular location.

Contract activity at the Consulate is minimal. Four total federal contract awards have been issued since 2017, with a combined potential value of $93 thousand and $93 thousand obligated. Activity occurred in 2017, 2019, and 2020, with the most recent award closing on September 24, 2020 — more than six years ago. No contract awards are recorded in the last five years. The set-aside mix is entirely open market: all four awards carried no set-aside designation.

Two distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts across the portfolio. With only two vendors and four awards on record, the competitive base is extremely thin and carries no meaningful concentration analysis. The low transaction volume and long dormancy since 2020 suggest that contracting at the Consulate is episodic and driven by specific operational needs rather than recurring procurement cycles.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Consulate. The absence of open solicitations and the six-year gap since the most recent award indicate that pursuit of contract work at this sub-agency is not presently viable. The Consulate's contracting activity appears to be managed through diplomatic procurement channels and specialized State Department contracting vehicles not reflected in the general-purpose federal contracting data available here.
