US Embassy Guatemala City

The Department of State's U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City is a civilian diplomatic post that procures goods, services, and facility maintenance to support mission operations in Guatemala. The Embassy has awarded 20 federal contracts totaling $529 thousand in combined potential value since 2018, with $502 thousand obligated (95% of potential value). Contract activity has slowed markedly: the Embassy issued 10 awards in 2020, then 1 in 2021, 3 in 2022, 3 in 2024, and 2 in 2025. Recent awards (last five years) include one with no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders or BPA calls.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Among the top five primes by award count over the last five years, coverage reaches 89 percent of recent awards; by potential value, the top five cover 55 percent. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees hold multiple awards across both rankings. Vosmedia Sociedad Anonima is the largest single prime by potential value at $180 thousand from one award. Waypoint LLC and IQair North America, Inc. have each received one award. Eight distinct prime contractors have won since the portfolio's inception; only one award (to Navega.com, Sociedad Anomima) carries no reported potential value. Nearly all awards (95 percent) are unset-aside; one small-business award comprises the remainder.

The Embassy's current solicitation pipeline reflects facility operations, communications, and administrative support. Recent opportunities include media monitoring services for the Public Diplomacy Section (due Sept 11, 2026), preventive maintenance for potable water treatment and HVAC systems (both due Sept 11 and Sept 9, 2026), common waste management services (due Sept 20, 2026), server equipment and IT components, vehicle acquisition, and facilities work including a modular structural mezzanine installation at a naval facility with a site visit scheduled for Aug 27, 2026. Tourism and logistics services for Public Diplomacy field visits are also open (due Aug 24, 2026). Most solicitations are firm-fixed-price RFQs with low dollar thresholds typical of embassy-level procurement, all posted within the last two months with due dates clustered in mid-to-late August through mid-September 2026.
