US Embassy Manama

The Department of State US Embassy Manama, a civilian diplomatic mission's contracting office, procures goods and services supporting embassy operations and diplomatic engagement in Bahrain.

The Embassy has awarded 10 federal contracts since 2020, with recent activity concentrated in 2023 and 2025. In the last five years, the office issued 1 award in 2020, 1 in 2021, 1 in 2022, 3 in 2023, and 4 in 2025. Combined contract potential value stands at $98 thousand, with $98 thousand obligated as of the most recent award in January 2025. Three of the eight recent awards (38%) carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders transacted through such vehicles.

Four distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio. Among recent awards, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees dominate: one entity holds 4 awards valued at $45 thousand, while another holds 2 awards valued at $30 thousand. STC Bahrain B.s.c Closed accounts for 1 award at $11 thousand, and A.a. Car Rental CO. W.L.L. holds 1 award with unreported value. These three named vendors and the broader Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees category represent highly concentrated competitive activity, accounting for 100 percent of recent awards by count and 88 percent of recent awards by reported potential value. The use of foreign vendors reflects the Embassy's operational footprint in Bahrain.

All 10 awards carry no set-aside designation; the entire portfolio is open market procurement.
