US Embassy Paris

The Department of State's US Embassy in Paris is a sub-agency office within the State Department that procures facility management, maintenance, occupational services, and operational support for U.S. diplomatic and administrative operations in France. The Embassy issues contracts through its Paris Contracting Office to vendors located primarily in France and elsewhere, with contract awards rolled up from the Embassy and any subordinate offices.

The Embassy has closed 84 federal contract awards since August 2017, with cumulative potential value of $9 million and $8.7 million obligated (96% of potential). Award volume has accelerated sharply over the last five years: 3 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 31 in 2025, and 22 year-to-date in 2026. All 84 awards carry no set-aside designation; competition is unrestricted.

The competitive landscape is moderately concentrated. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees hold 60 awards across multiple registrations ($2.8 million and $653 thousand combined potential value), accounting for 86% of recent awards by count and 91% of combined potential value. Grand Hotel Inter Continental Paris ranks second with 4 awards valued at $1.8 million. SNC De L'hotel Dabicam Paris, Robert Paysage, and Peintures Batiment Services round out the top five. The 13 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio show that while foreign-domiciled vendors dominate in frequency, the contract base remains moderately diversified by dollar value, particularly for facility renovation and hospitality services.

Recent contract opportunities reflect the Embassy's ongoing facility and staffing needs. An IDIQ for painting and maintenance services in leased apartments (estimated ceiling $3.375 million over five years, anticipated release October 9, 2026) represents the largest open opportunity. Liability insurance for approximately 230 leased and owned apartments (due November 6, 2026) and occupational medical services for locally engaged staff (due October 29, 2026) are near-term fixed-price solicitations. Additional opportunities posted in September and August 2026 include temporary carpenter support, official vehicle insurance, kitchen and bathroom renovations in government residences, consular waiting room carpet replacement, and supply and installation of electric vehicle charging stations. All solicitations are firm fixed price or IDIQ contracts with no set-asides, allowing any eligible vendor registered in SAM to compete.
