US Embassy Mexico

The Department of State US Embassy Mexico is a civilian sub-agency that procures facility management, maintenance, and operational services to support U.S. diplomatic presence in Mexico, along with grant funding for public diplomacy and workforce development programs in the consular regions.

The Embassy has awarded 456 federal contracts since 2016, obligating $29.8 million against $44.5 million in combined potential value. Activity has declined in recent years: 80 awards in 2022, 93 in 2023, 85 in 2024, 66 in 2025, and 45 year-to-date in 2026. Competition is concentrated — the top five primes account for 56 percent of recent awards by count and 64 percent by potential value. AXA Seguros leads with 81 awards and $5.9 million combined potential value over the last five years; Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees collectively hold 98 awards and $22 million combined potential value; and Radiomovil Dipsa, S.A. De C.V. accounts for 29 awards and $820 thousand. All 456 awards carry no set-aside designation; the Embassy contracts with all responsible sources. Approximately 7 percent of recent awards report no potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders.

Current contract opportunities focus on facility and infrastructure support at the New Embassy Compound and U.S. Government residential properties in Mexico City. Active solicitations (most posted in August 2026) seek OEM spare parts for air handler units, drainage inspection equipment, Lutron lighting controllers, and Notifier fire alarm systems; packaged rooftop HVAC equipment; modular scaffolding for cooling tower maintenance; and residential roof repair and coating services. A pre-solicitation notice posted October 20, 2026 announces an upcoming maintenance and repair services RFQ for leased and government-owned properties, with a base year and four option periods as a firm fixed-price contract. All opportunities require SAM registration and allow electronic submission only.

On the grant side, the Embassy's Public Diplomacy Sections in Tijuana, Nogales, and Hermosillo posted a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on July 28, 2026 with an August 27, 2026 deadline, titled Building Skills, Strengthening Communities, and Advancing Innovation in Northwest Mexico. The competition invites proposals from U.S. higher education institutions, nonprofits, and other entities to support four objectives: English language teacher training, STEM education through U.S. institutional partnerships, youth development and community safety via sports diplomacy, and journalist training in AI and digital tools. Successful applicants must demonstrate skills-building, measurable outputs, sustainability, and alignment with U.S. foreign policy interests in border region security and economic development.
