US Embassy Santo Domingo

The Department of State US Embassy Santo Domingo, a civilian sub-agency operating as the principal diplomatic and consular office for the Dominican Republic, has awarded 63 federal contracts since November 2016, with recent activity accelerating through 2025 before moderating year-to-date in 2026. The portfolio generated $6.1 million in combined award potential value and $4.2 million in obligated dollars. Over the last five years, the embassy awarded 55 contracts at a cadence of 9 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 22 in 2025, and 6 year-to-date in 2026. Approximately 27% of recent awards carry no reported potential value, consistent with Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders.

The contract portfolio is highly fragmented by prime contractor concentration. Over the last five years, 23 distinct foreign awardees collectively account for 82% of recent awards, though the ranking tables do not identify them by name — the digest classifies them as "Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees." The single identified U.S. contractor in the top-five by potential value is Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., which holds one $740 thousand award. By combined potential value, the top five awardees account for 46% of portfolio value; the foreign awardees collectively represent $2.03 million across 44 awards, while Atlantic Diving Supply represents $740 thousand. Set-aside activity is minimal: 98% of awards carry no set-aside designation, and one award is designated Total Small Business.

The embassy transacts almost exclusively without formal set-asides, reflecting the operational structure of overseas diplomatic missions where vendor availability and security clearance constraints often drive contractor selection. Recent contract opportunities in the agency's pipeline are not recorded in the source material. Potential pursuits should evaluate the competitive dynamic — foreign vendors dominate award volume, and the fragmented structure suggests no single incumbent lock; however, the small portfolio size and foreign-vendor prevalence indicate that work awarded typically serves embassy-specific operations (facility support, administrative services, local-market procurement) rather than large-dollar or national-scope efforts. The most recent award closed on October 16, 2026.
