US Embassy Maseru

The Department of State US Embassy Maseru is a civilian diplomatic mission that procures goods and services in support of embassy operations and U.S. foreign policy objectives in Lesotho. The Embassy's contracting activity operates under State Department acquisition authority and draws heavily on foreign vendors and local suppliers available in the country of assignment.

The Embassy has awarded 45 federal contracts since 2019, generating $1 million in combined potential value. Contract activity has accelerated sharply in recent years: 5 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 6 in 2024, and 22 in 2025, with 2 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Dollars obligated total $760 thousand, representing 76 percent of combined potential value. The most recent award closed on 2026-07-10.

All 45 awards carry no set-aside designation—100 percent are unrestricted procurements. This aligns with the Embassy's procurement environment, which prioritizes vendor availability and capability in-country rather than domestic small-business set-asides. The five distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio are almost entirely miscellaneous foreign awardees, reflecting the Embassy's reliance on local and regional vendors. Over the last five years, miscellaneous foreign awardees account for 100 percent of awards by count and 87 percent by combined potential value, with the top four foreign awardee groups collectively holding 38 awards valued at $861 thousand. Four Points Technology, L.L.C. is the only U.S.-based contractor on the current active roster, with 1 award valued at $10 thousand.

The Embassy's contracting footprint is highly concentrated among foreign vendors. Given the small dollar scale ($1 million total potential value), limited vendor roster (5 distinct primes), and operational focus on embassy support in a single country, this concentration is consistent with diplomatic-mission procurement patterns. No recent contract opportunities are on record for the Embassy.
