US Embassy Freetown

The Department of State US Embassy Freetown is a civilian diplomatic outpost that procures goods and services to support mission operations in Sierra Leone. The embassy operates as a sub-agency contracting entity under State Department authority, handling acquisitions for facility operations, communications, and consular support functions at the Freetown location.

The embassy has issued six federal contract awards since 2018, with combined potential value of $120 thousand and $76 thousand obligated to date. Recent activity shows two awards in 2026 (as of June 18), one award in 2023, one in 2020, and two in 2018; one of the three recent awards (within the last five years) carries no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders. All six awards are issued outside set-aside designations, reflecting open competition or direct-award mechanics standard for overseas embassy procurement.

The competitive base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Cajutel SL SARL LIMITED holds the largest reported value at $60 thousand across one award, and Africell (Sl) LIMITED holds $17 thousand across one award; these two vendors together account for 64 percent of combined potential value over the window. The remaining recent award is to a miscellaneous foreign awardee with unreported potential value. The portfolio spans six distinct prime contractors cumulatively, all with single awards, indicating no recurring vendor concentration and high churn across the award history.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded for the embassy. The agency's contract activity is minimal in volume and dollar value, consistent with the operational footprint of a single diplomatic mission overseas. Pursuit is appropriate only for vendors with established relationships with State Department procurement offices or existing presence in Sierra Leone, and only when the embassy issues specific solicitations.
