Purchase Order 19PCRD26K0265

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs awarded a $52,559.67 firm fixed-price purchase order to DHL Express (USA), Inc. on October 20, 2025, for mail invoice processing services. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by November 19, 2025, and will be performed at DHL Express's facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. DHL Express, a subsidiary of Deutsche Post AG and a leading international logistics provider, has established itself as a critical partner for the State Department's courier and mail handling operations, particularly in support of passport and citizenship processing functions managed by the Bureau of Consular Affairs.

This purchase order represents a continuation of DHL Express's substantial engagement with the Department of State, supplementing the contractor's existing Blanket Purchase Agreements with various State Department entities valued at up to $121,991.65. The company's extensive portfolio of federal logistics contracts—spanning the FBI, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Pacific Air Forces—demonstrates its operational capacity to manage complex shipping and document transportation requirements across domestic and international markets. As a large, established logistics provider, DHL Express does not benefit from small business set-asides and serves as a key enabler of diplomatic communications and administrative operations through its specialized mail processing and courier services.
