US Embassy Lima

The Department of State US Embassy Lima is a civilian diplomatic mission that procures contracts to maintain and operate the U.S. Embassy compound and support administrative functions in Lima, Peru. As a sub-agency of the Department of State, the Embassy executes its own local procurements through commercial solicitations and competitive quotation requests.

The Embassy has awarded 109 federal contracts since 2003, with a combined potential value of $7.2 million and $6.9 million obligated. Recent activity shows 12 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 5 year-to-date in 2026. Approximately 13 percent of recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications. The Embassy works with 32 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history.

Competitive concentration is fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes hold 66 percent of recent awards by count but only 32 percent of combined potential value. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees lead by award count at 30 combined awards (17 and 13 listed separately) worth $990 thousand combined potential value. Inversiones La Rioja Sac ranks second by value at $574 thousand across 5 awards. Telefonica Del Peru S.a.a., Magnet Forensics LLC, and smaller Peruvian and foreign vendors round out the active contractor base. All 109 awards carry no set-aside designation; the Embassy procures openly from local and foreign suppliers without small-business, 8(a), HUBZone, or other federal set-aside constraints.

The Embassy is actively soliciting. Recent opportunities focus on facility maintenance and capital improvements: floor replacement at three main access control areas (solicitation 19PE5026Q0065, due September 22, 2026); lighting fixtures for the Chancery facade (19PE5026Q0051, due September 17, 2026); main entrance and walkway renovation (19PE5026Q0055, due September 11, 2026); water treatment systems for cooling towers (19PE5026Q0039, due September 10, 2026); and preventive maintenance on cooling tower units (19PE5026Q0059 and 19PE5026Q0060, both due September 7, 2026). Additional solicitations cover automatic transfer switch installation, generator maintenance, vehicle procurement and rental, IT equipment (laptops), and conference facilities for official workshops. All solicitations are issued as requests for quotation with no set-aside. Bidders must be qualified and vetted contractors capable of working on the Embassy compound and meeting U.S. government specifications. Local Peruvian suppliers and international vendors with regional presence dominate recent awards.
