US Embassy Cairo

The Department of State US Embassy Cairo is a civilian diplomatic mission that procures operational support, facility services, and administrative supplies for U.S. government operations in Egypt. The Embassy issues contracts directly for goods and services required to maintain diplomatic functions and support American personnel and facilities in Cairo.

The Embassy has awarded 61 contracts since 2018, totaling $1.3 million in combined potential value, with $1.3 million obligated to date. Contract activity has accelerated in recent years: 6 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 13 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-09-17. About 30 percent of recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders, indicating the Embassy transacts through multiple vehicle types beyond traditional definitive contracts.

The contractor base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five awardees account for 64 percent of recent awards by count. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees dominate by award volume (10, 7, 3, and 3 awards across distinct entities totaling 23 awards) and by potential value (10 awards at $244 thousand, 3 awards at $183 thousand, and 7 awards at $127 thousand across distinct entities totaling $554 thousand combined potential value, or 60 percent of the recent portfolio by value). Future Gladness Company ranks second by count with 7 awards, though potential value is not reported. U.S.-based contractors such as Tidewater, Inc. ($104 thousand in one award) account for a smaller share. The Embassy has transacted with 25 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio. All 61 awards carry no set-aside designation — the contract awards are either unrestricted open market or procured under overseas contracting authority that does not track set-aside use.

No recent contract opportunities are present in the source data. The source provides no grant-award portfolio or grant-opportunity blocks; the Embassy administers only contract activity at this agency level. Given the low award volume, modest spending ceiling, and lack of current solicitation data, this agency represents a niche pursuit opportunity, typically of interest to contractors with established overseas presence or those providing specialized Cairo-based support services.
