Akula Living LIMITED

Akula Living LIMITED, a for-profit furniture manufacturer headquartered in Wetherby, United Kingdom, supplies office furnishings, outdoor patio furniture, chairs, and tables to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designation.

Akula Living LIMITED operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) to two State Department customer organizations. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for 27 awards totaling $818 thousand in combined potential value, with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security issuing one additional $7 thousand purchase order. All work supports furnishing U.S. embassies, consulates, and diplomatic facilities abroad, with performance occurring in the United Kingdom. Award values range from $4,600 to $141,253.50, and delivery timeframes typically span two to six months. Representative recent contracts include a $141,253.50 purchase order awarded January 2, 2025 for office furnishings and outdoor patio furniture with completion through May 15, 2025; a $49,015.00 order awarded September 26, 2024 for furnishings at embassies in Great Britain with delivery through November 29, 2024; and a $6,232.00 order awarded July 2, 2025 for office furnishings and patio furniture with completion through October 17, 2025. The vendor's NAICS portfolio centers on Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing (23 awards) with secondary work in Textile and Fabric Finishing Mills and miscellaneous manufacturing categories.

Akula Living LIMITED shows a volatile activity trajectory. Award volume peaked at six in 2022, declined to three in 2023 and one in 2024, then recovered to four in 2025 with one award so far in 2026 (as of September 25, 2026). Combined potential value across all 28 awards reached $825 thousand with $823 thousand obligated. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying $5 thousand in potential value — minimal recompete exposure. The vendor has maintained continuous engagement with DOS/OBO since 2019, with award patterns reflecting episodic purchasing cycles tied to diplomatic facility refurbishment rather than sustained contract vehicles or standing orders.
