US Embassy Gaborone

The Department of State's US Embassy in Gaborone, Botswana, is a civilian diplomatic post that procures goods and services in support of embassy operations. The Embassy is a sub-agency within the State Department's overseas mission structure and manages its own contracting at a modest scale relative to larger federal agencies.

The Embassy has awarded 8 federal contracts since March 2022, with 6 awards issued in 2024 and 2 awards in 2022. Combined potential value across all awards is $188 thousand, fully obligated. One award (13 percent of the portfolio) carries no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders. The Awards are highly fragmented across 5 distinct prime contractors over the five-year window. Vae, Inc., leads by potential value at $92 thousand from a single award. Safari African Restaurant LLC holds the largest award count at 3 contracts totaling $45 thousand combined potential value. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees account for 2 awards worth $37 thousand plus 1 award with unreported value, reflecting local and regional sourcing patterns common to overseas diplomatic posts. Macka LLC rounds out the competitive landscape with 1 award valued at $14 thousand.

All 8 awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating straightforward competitive or local procurement without small-business or minority-owned set-aside categorization. This reflects the Embassy's operational procurement environment, where contracting is typically driven by immediate mission support needs and local-vendor availability rather than domestic small-business policy objectives.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. Business development professionals evaluating activity at the Embassy should anticipate that future solicitations will likely remain small in dollar value and localized in scope, consistent with the modest scale and overseas operational context of a single diplomatic post. Pursuit would be most relevant for firms positioned in or able to serve Botswana or the southern Africa region.
