US Embassy Dakar

The Department of State US Embassy Dakar is a civilian diplomatic outpost that procures goods and services to support embassy operations in Senegal. The Embassy handles all contracting for its facilities, communications, transportation, and administrative functions through its General Services Office and procurement staff.

The Embassy has issued 25 federal contract awards since 2020, with combined potential value of $505 thousand. Activity has been uneven: 3 awards in 2022, 2 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 4 year-to-date in 2026. All $505 thousand obligated represents the full potential value of awards closed. Recent awards (last five years) show that 2 of 17 carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications. The Embassy works with a mix of local and international vendors; 12 distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio history.

Competitive concentration among recent primes is concentrated by award count and moderately concentrated by potential value. Over the last five years, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees led by count (6 awards totaling $64 thousand), followed by Sonatel SA (3 awards, $59 thousand) and Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings LTD (2 awards, $112 thousand). By potential value, Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings LTD ranks first with $112 thousand across 2 awards, Sonatel SA second with $59 thousand across 3 awards, and African Contract Solutions Inc. third with $48 thousand from a single award. The top five primes (including foreign and miscellaneous categories) account for 76% of recent awards by count and 56% of combined potential value.

All 25 contract awards carry no set-aside designation — 100% of the Embassy's contracting has been unrestricted open competition.

Three recent contract opportunities are open. The Embassy posted an RFQ for Consolidated Leased Line Services (Solicitation 19SG2026Q0022) on August 11, 2026, with quotations due by August 19, 2026 at 12:00 noon local time, awarded on a lowest-price-technically-acceptable basis. The Embassy also solicited Warehouse Shelves Restoration for heavy-duty pallet racking systems and associated components (Solicitation 19SG2026Q0021), posted August 11, 2026, due August 27, 2026, and a corresponding pre-solicitation notice dated July 24, 2026, with award intended on an LPTA basis. Both solicitations are open to unrestricted competition, require SAM registration and cybersecurity supply-chain-risk-management attestations, and are directed to dakarsolicitation@state.gov or the GSO procurement office at the Embassy's main address in Dakar.
