US Embassy Nouakchott

The Department of State US Embassy Nouakchott is a diplomatic post that procures goods and services to support embassy operations in Mauritania. The Embassy issues contracts to fulfill mission-critical logistics, facilities, communications, and administrative needs in country.

The Embassy has awarded 23 contracts since 2019, with 19 awards over the last five years. Activity peaked in 2022 at 7 awards; subsequent years held at 2 (2023), 5 (2024), and 5 (2025). Combined contract potential value stands at $291 thousand, fully obligated. Notably, ten of the 19 recent awards (53 percent) carry no reported potential value, indicating the Embassy conducts material business through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders — the underlying transaction values are not captured in federal contract databases.

Competition is highly fragmented across nine distinct prime contractors. Over the last five years, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees collectively account for 16 awards totaling $126 thousand combined potential value and dominate the award count; Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings LTD holds the single largest transaction at $123 thousand (one award). Reliable Supply Chains International Inc. received one award valued at $26 thousand. All 23 awards carry no set-aside designation — 100 percent of contracting is open competition.

The relatively small dollar footprint, the concentration of activity among foreign vendors and suppliers operating in-country, and the preponderance of unreported transaction values reflect the Embassy's operational posture: procuring from local and regional supply bases to meet immediate facility and logistics requirements rather than conducting larger complex acquisitions. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Embassy or its descendant offices. A business development firm pursuing this agency should anticipate steady but limited, low-dollar contracting activity with an in-country supply chain orientation and no meaningful set-aside preference signaling.
