About this award
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations awarded a $170.9M firm fixed-price definitive contract to Caddell Construction CO. (De), LLC on February 28, 2025, for selective improvements to the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The project scope includes upgrades to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, telecommunications, and fire protection systems, construction of a new roof penthouse, and renovation of the consular section. The contract carries an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029, and was awarded through full and open competition with no set-aside designation. The awarded contract value of $170.9M represents an increase over the original solicitation's estimated design and construction cost range of $75M to $100M, reflecting additional funds for RFPs 002 and 003 referenced in the award documentation.
Caddell Construction, based in Montgomery, Alabama, is well-positioned to execute this project given its extensive experience delivering over $2 billion in federal construction projects, particularly with the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations. The contractor has previously designed and constructed new embassy compounds in multiple countries including Brazil, Argentina, Trinidad and Tobago, South Sudan, and Turkey, with contract values ranging from $31M to $676M. The firm also maintains a $245M Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for design-build services, further demonstrating its capability to manage complex, long-term federal construction initiatives. This embassy improvement project aligns with the State Department's broader efforts to maintain secure and functional diplomatic facilities worldwide.
