US Embassy Athens

The Department of State US Embassy Athens is a diplomatic mission that procures supplies, services, and facilities support for the embassy compound and personnel in Greece. The Embassy operates within the State Department's overseas mission structure and issues contracts directly for operational needs ranging from facility maintenance and utilities to communications equipment and administrative services.

The Embassy has awarded four federal contracts cumulatively since 2018, with a combined potential value of $125 thousand and full obligation of that amount. Recent contract activity is sparse: one award in 2018, one in 2021, one in 2023, and one in 2025. Among the last five years of awards, the Embassy transacts with a highly fragmented vendor base — no single prime contractor dominates the portfolio. Sfakianakis S.A. holds one award valued at $35 thousand; one recent award to a miscellaneous foreign awardee carries no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders. All four cumulative awards carry no set-aside designation.

Current contract opportunities reflect routine embassy operations and facility needs. Five solicitations and pre-solicitations posted between late July and mid-August 2026 are open or recently closed: procurement of heating oil for embassy-controlled properties in Athens and Thessaloniki (due August 27, 2026); move services for relocation of the Embassy from Politia Business Center to the Chancery Building on Vas. Sofias Avenue (due August 19, 2026); national public opinion polling services in Greece on issues of Embassy interest, with a one-year performance period and two one-year renewal options (due September 4, 2026); an electronic biometric keys management cabinet, wall-mounted, for approximately 260 keys (due September 4, 2026); and one compact crawler boom lift and one electric scissor lift for the Embassy Chancery (due September 4, 2026). All opportunities specify that awardees must operate an established business with required licenses and permits and a permanent address in Greece where applicable, or equivalent local presence. No set-asides apply to any of the open opportunities.

The contract volume and dollar value at the Embassy Athens are minimal relative to federal procurement at large. BD pursuit is viable only for firms with Greece-based operations, established licensing, and fit to facilities, logistics, or communications support work at diplomatic missions.
