US Embassy Managua

The Department of State US Embassy Managua is a civilian diplomatic post that procures goods and services to support embassy operations in Nicaragua. The Embassy operates as a sub-office of the State Department, conducting contract activity through headquarters-level acquisition mechanisms.

The Embassy has awarded 12 federal contracts since 2010, with minimal recent volume. Activity in the last five years consisted of 1 award in 2021, 3 in 2022, 1 in 2023, 1 in 2024, and 1 in 2025, reflecting sporadic procurement demand. Combined award potential value stands at $6.1 million, with 100 percent of that amount obligated. Four of the six recent awards (67 percent) carry no reported potential value, indicating heavy reliance on Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders typical of overseas diplomatic operations.

Contract activity is highly fragmented across eight distinct prime contractors over the portfolio lifetime. Over the last five years, Tidewater, Inc. is the largest prime by value, holding $6.1 million in one award. Two distinct groupings of Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees hold smaller tranches ($21 thousand and $0 reported value). Supply Partner LLC and Johnson Controls Government Systems, LLC each hold one award with unreported potential value. The combination of small total awards, foreign participation, and unreported values reflects the nature of overseas embassy procurement — routine maintenance, supplies, and localized services often transacted through task orders or foreign vendors without full disclosure in consolidated contract databases.

Set-aside usage is minimal: 11 awards (92 percent) carry no set-aside designation, and 1 award (8 percent) is designated as Partial Small Business. The low set-aside penetration is typical of embassy operations, which prioritize operational continuity and vendor reliability over domestic small-business preference.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the Embassy. The agency's procurement posture reflects the limited and episodic nature of embassy contracting — driven by immediate operational needs rather than planned solicitations — and the predominance of task-order execution against existing State Department contracts or international vendors serving diplomatic posts.
