US Embassy Baku

The Department of State's US Embassy Baku is a civilian diplomatic post that procures contracts and services for the operation and maintenance of embassy facilities and staff support in Azerbaijan. The Embassy's contracting activity serves diplomatic mission operations at the Baku chancery and associated diplomatic compound.

The Embassy has awarded 36 federal contracts totaling $4.7 million combined potential value since 2000, with all dollars obligated. Contract activity was concentrated in 2004 and 2005, when the Embassy awarded 22 and 12 contracts respectively; the most recent recorded award closed in 2006. All 36 awards carried no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition among vendors. Across the portfolio, 19 distinct prime contractors have transacted with the Embassy.

Recent contract opportunities posted by the Embassy reflect routine operational procurement. As of late August and early September 2026, open solicitations include fuel tank inspection and repair at the Baku compound (solicitation 19AJ2026Q0019, due September 14, 2026), warehouse roof repair (19AJ2026Q0013, due August 10, 2026), and main entrance roof repair at the chancery (19AJ2026Q0014, due August 10, 2026). The Embassy also posted special notices for whole-house filters for residences (19AJ2026P0245, due September 10, 2026), fuel and fuel cards for embassy vehicles (19AJ2026Q0012, due August 14, 2026), and local employee staff life insurance covering 2026–2031 (19AJ2026D00011, due September 7, 2026). Most recent opportunities are set aside for small business; roof repair solicitations carry no set-aside. Quotations are submitted electronically to BAKUBIDBOX@STATE.GOV in Microsoft Office or PDF format. Site visits and pre-quotation conferences are scheduled in early August 2026 for prospective vendors; contact is Elnara Gurbanova (gurbanovaEN@state.gov) or Anar Rzayev.

The Embassy's contract portfolio is highly aged, with no recorded awards since 2006. Current solicitation activity focuses on facility maintenance, vehicle operations, and employee benefits — the core services required to sustain diplomatic operations. Vendors pursuing Embassy work should note that all recent opportunities are small-business eligible, submission deadlines are compressed (typically 10–14 days from posting), and quotations must comply with specific file-format and size limits enforced by embassy email servers.
