US Embassy Maputo

The Department of State's US Embassy in Maputo, a civilian diplomatic mission operating in Mozambique, awards contracts for facilities operations, logistics support, communications infrastructure, and mission-sustaining services required to maintain the embassy's physical plant and administrative functions. The Embassy operates as a sub-office of the State Department's broader overseas mission portfolio, procuring goods and services to support diplomatic operations in-country.

The Embassy has closed 116 federal contract awards since 2017, with $4.7 million in combined potential value fully obligated. Activity has accelerated markedly over the past five years: 6 awards in 2022, 25 in 2023, 28 in 2024, 37 in 2025, and 10 year-to-date in 2026. Fourteen percent of recent awards carry no reported potential value, consistent with Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders typical of overseas embassy procurement.

The contractor base is fragmented. Over the last five years, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees account for multiple entries in both the top-by-count and top-by-value rankings, reflecting the Embassy's reliance on local and foreign-based vendors for mission support. By award count, the top five entities hold 56 percent of recent awards; by combined potential value, the top five hold 60 percent. Vodacom Mocambique, S.A. leads by potential value with $897 thousand across three awards. Sterling Export Corporation and Africa Automotive Distribution Services LIMITED round out the named prime contractor base alongside Tecnel Service LTD. The 31 distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio indicate a relatively open competitive environment, though local and regional vendors dominate.

All 116 awards carry no set-aside designation—100 percent are procured under unrestricted competition. This reflects the Embassy's procurement authority under the Foreign Service Act and State Department regulations governing overseas contracting, which do not apply SBA set-aside categories to overseas missions.
