US Embassy The Hague

The Department of State US Embassy The Hague is a civilian diplomatic outpost that procures goods and services to support embassy operations in the Netherlands. The embassy operates under State Department acquisition authority and conducts simplified acquisitions for facility maintenance, equipment, and support services.

Contract activity at the embassy has been minimal and sporadic. The portfolio records four federal contract awards with a combined potential value of $325 thousand, obligating $307 thousand (94% of potential value). Awards were issued in 2018 (two awards), 2020 (one award), and 2022 (one award); no awards have closed since April 2022. All four awards went to miscellaneous foreign awardees with no set-asides applied. Competitive concentration is highly fragmented — each of the four distinct prime contractors holds a single award. The embassy transacts through Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13, which constrains individual solicitation values below the simplified acquisition threshold and limits the complexity of contract vehicles.

Recent contract opportunities posted in August and September 2026 include a Request for Quotation for supply and delivery of one mid-size SUV (due September 11, 2026) under full and open competition, a Request for Quotation for MSG Cook Services at the Marine Security Guard Residence with a question-period close of August 20, 2026, and a pre-solicitation notice for Packing and Crating services with anticipated base-year performance plus four one-year option periods (archived December 31, 2026). All opportunities are set aside for full and open competition with no small-business or set-aside designations.

Pursuit at this embassy is not recommended for firms seeking sustained contract revenue or leverage. Activity levels are low relative to the two-year gap between the 2022 award and current opportunities, volumes are small (each award under $325 thousand combined), and the competitive structure offers minimal differentiation. The embassy's simplified-acquisition posture and foreign awardee focus suggest a narrow procurement window oriented toward local vendors or vendors with Dutch operational presence. This office is suitable only for firms capable of rapid quotation response on small-value commodities and services, and only when immediate geographic or operational positioning in the Netherlands is feasible.
