US Embassy Valletta

The Department of State's US Embassy Valletta is a civilian diplomatic mission that procures goods and services to support embassy operations and diplomatic activities in Malta. The Embassy functions as a subordinate contracting office within the Department of State's overseas mission structure, executing its procurement authority to meet operational needs at the posting.

The Embassy has awarded 38 federal contracts totaling approximately $1 million in combined potential value since 2019, with $973 thousand obligated. Contract activity has accelerated sharply in recent years: 3 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 10 in 2024, and 15 in 2025, followed by 1 award so far in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is January 8, 2026.

All contract awards are issued without small-business or other federal set-asides, and the competitive base consists entirely of foreign awardees. Over the last five years, foreign contractors hold 97 percent of awards by both count and combined potential value. Foreign Awardees (Undisclosed) leads with 12 awards valued at $521 thousand combined potential value; the remaining five award-winning entities are classified as Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees across multiple groupings. Six distinct prime contractors have received awards across the portfolio history.

The Embassy's procurement activity reflects typical overseas mission operations: small-dollar, operationally focused contracting primarily with local and regional vendors to support facility management, administrative services, and mission support functions. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. The highly concentrated foreign-awardee base and absence of set-asides reflects the geographic and regulatory constraints of procuring from an overseas diplomatic mission, where statutory small-business set-aside programs do not apply in the same manner as domestic federal contracting.
