US Embassy Riga

The U.S. Department of State's embassy in Riga, Latvia, is a sub-agency diplomatic posting that procures facility operations, maintenance, security support, and administrative services to sustain U.S. mission operations in-country. The embassy has issued 22 federal contract awards since 2019, with recent activity holding steady at three awards per year over the last five years. Combined award potential value stands at $1.4 million, with $1.1 million obligated to date.

The contractor base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five vendors by award count account for 50 percent of recent awards, driven by Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees with four awards totaling $86 thousand in potential value. By dollar value, the top five account for 86 percent of combined potential value, concentrated among two vendors: SIA Filter ($490 thousand) and If P & C Insurance AS Latvijas Filiale ($475 thousand), each holding a single award. The remaining 15 distinct primes have transacted minimally; most awards are one-off or low-value engagements with local Latvian service providers. Ninety-five percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with only one small-business set-aside awarded. One recent award has no reported potential value, consistent with Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchases.

Recent contract opportunities focus on embassy facility maintenance and operations. A pre-solicitation notice for MSG Cook Service (19LG7527Q0001), posted October 15, 2026, indicates intent to award a firm-fixed-price contract for professional food services supporting the Marine Security Guard Detachment, with one base year plus four one-year options. Two solicitations for facility upgrades closed in September and August: Replacement of Facade Lights (19LG7526Q0006) to install RGBW LED fixtures at the embassy compound, emphasizing local procurement necessity to avoid delays inherent in U.S.-based sourcing; and Installation of Roof Railing Systems (19LG7526Q0005) to address fall-protection hazards across six buildings on the compound. All three opportunities carry no set-aside designation and are structured as local competitive procurements aligned with State Department overseas contracting policy.
