US Embassy Dhaka

The Department of State US Embassy Dhaka, a civilian sub-agency of the State Department, procures goods and services to support diplomatic operations and mission requirements in Bangladesh. The Embassy executes contracts through standard State Department acquisition channels without leveraging small-business set-asides.

The Embassy has recorded 67 contract awards since 2018, with $45.6 million in combined award potential value. Recent activity shows 11 awards in 2021, 11 in 2022, 13 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and 1 year-to-date in 2025. Combined dollars obligated total $1.4 million, representing 3 percent of combined potential value — a pattern typical of task orders and modifications where obligations track incrementally against larger vehicle ceilings. Eleven percent of recent awards carry no reported potential value, reflecting the prevalence of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders in the Embassy's procurement mix.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, no single U.S. prime contractor accounts for meaningful award concentration. Instead, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees (a designation indicating foreign vendors registered in federal procurement systems) collectively dominate the award count with 32 awards across three separate rows totaling $496 thousand in potential value — 97 percent of recent awards by count but only 1 percent by potential value. This distribution reflects the Embassy's reliance on local and regional suppliers for low-dollar goods and services essential to mission operations. Two additional U.S. vendors appear in recent activity — DHL Express (USA), Inc. and AAA Million Auto Parts Incorporated — each with single awards of unreported potential value. One additional prime, Agriculture & Food Systems Institute, carries a single $15 thousand award. All 67 awards across the portfolio's lifetime carry no set-aside designation.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Embassy or its offices.
