US Embassy Hanoi

The United States Embassy in Hanoi serves as the official diplomatic mission of the United States government in Vietnam, operating under the Department of State. Established after the normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam in 1995, the Embassy coordinates bilateral relations, provides consular services to US citizens, promotes trade and investment, and implements various assistance programs. The Embassy works to advance US interests in Vietnam while fostering cooperation on regional security, economic development, public health, and educational exchange initiatives throughout the country.

Recent contracting activity by the US Embassy in Hanoi reveals a consistent need for meeting packages and logistics support for diplomatic and interagency activities throughout Vietnam. In November 2024, the Embassy awarded an $11,592.17 firm fixed-price purchase order to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees for a meeting package in Ho Chi Minh City supporting interagency activities. Similarly, in September 2024, a $10,040.65 contract was awarded to Equans Zuid-Nederland B.V. for seminar services in Ho Chi Minh City. In August 2024, two additional purchase orders were issued: $14,099.48 to Bach Dang Hotel Complex Trading - Service Joint Stock Company for meeting services in Da Nang, and $18,601.31 to Ipte, LLC for logistics packages related to tactical medical training. A fifth award in July 2024 went to Bach Dang Hotel Complex Trading - Service Joint Stock Company for $13,885.05 for Advanced Border Operations Course (ABOC) training services in Da Nang.

The procurement pattern demonstrates the Embassy's ongoing requirement for venue and logistics support for training, seminars, and interagency coordination events throughout Vietnam, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. All contracts utilized firm fixed-price purchase orders without set-aside designations, suggesting a streamlined acquisition approach for these relatively modest-value requirements. Most contracts were awarded to firms with established experience in providing services to US government entities through various indefinite-delivery vehicles. The typical contract duration was short-term, generally spanning 1-3 months, aligning with specific event timelines. Companies seeking opportunities with the US Embassy in Hanoi should focus on capabilities in meeting facilitation, logistics coordination, and hospitality services that can support diplomatic and interagency training activities throughout Vietnam.
