About this award
The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations awarded a $548.267 million fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment to BL Harbert International LLC for new embassy compound construction in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, on September 28, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of February 19, 2029.
The contract encompasses design-build and construction management services for the full scope of embassy facility development, including structural systems, mechanical and electrical infrastructure, security-hardened architectural systems, potable water treatment, fire protection, HVAC, and site utilities. Work is performed in Kinshasa with administrative oversight from the State Department's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations.
The base contract runs through February 2029. BL Harbert is a Birmingham, Alabama-based design-build and construction management firm competing without set-aside designation in full-and-open federal procurement. The company self-performed substantially all work; subcontractors include Sunflow Energy Corp (photovoltaic systems), Sika Corporation (roofing membranes), Southwire Company LLC (electrical wire and branch circuits), Multistack LLC (HVAC chillers), PWS International Inc. (doors, windows, glazing, and trim), Harden Architectural Security Products LLC (force-entry and ballistic-resistant security systems), and Mid-South Lumber Co Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone firm (lumber and formwork).
Service Contract Inventory reporting shows $37.8 million invoiced in FY2023 across 16.3 FTEs and 33,841 contractor hours; $37.8 million in FY2024 across 382 FTEs and 795,048 contractor hours; and $58.8 million in FY2025 across 403 FTEs. The government-paid hourly rate declined from $1,116.50 per hour in FY2023 to $47.56 per hour in FY2024, reflecting a shift from management-intensive work to field labor-intensive construction delivery. The prime self-performed all reported hours in FY2025 with no subcontractor labor invoicing.
