American Institute In Taiwan

American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, serves as the de facto U.S. embassy in Taiwan and operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering consular support, payroll services, language and cultural training, overseas mission support, and administrative services to federal agencies on a full-and-open, no-set-aside basis. AIT has no subcontract footprint and does not subcontract to other primes; all 239 awards in the source represent prime work performed by AIT's own teams.

Customer concentration is extreme and strategically concentrated within the Department of State. The top five funding entities account for approximately 80% of recent awards by count and 97% by combined potential value. The Department of State Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs dominates both rankings, holding 11 awards worth $1.83 billion in combined potential value — a single customer representing the vast majority of AIT's federal revenue and reflecting AIT's core mission supporting U.S. government operations in Taiwan. The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations contributes 6 awards ($563.7 million), the Department of State's Bureau of Human Resources 2 awards ($214.2 million), and the Foreign Service Institute 20 awards ($94.4 million). The Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection places 7 awards ($9.4 million). Across 28 customer agencies, the Department of State family accounts for 184 of the 239 awards, with the remainder split across Defense, Homeland Security, and other agencies in minimal volume. Recent flagship work includes a $600 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (awarded August 8, 2025, through August 7, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of August 7, 2027), which authorizes task orders for consular, payroll, training, and administrative services; a $396 million time-and-materials funding delivery order under that IDC (issued August 8, 2025, for AIT operations through August 7, 2035); a $2.8 million Immigration and Customs Enforcement definitive contract for homeland security consular support in Taiwan (issued September 30, 2025, concluding September 29, 2028); and a $3.94 million Customs and Border Protection purchase order supporting CBP overseas mission and Container Security Initiative activities in Taiwan (issued March 22, 2024, concluding March 21, 2029).

AIT's parent vehicles reflect its Taiwan-focused mission. The Indefinite Delivery Contract SLMAQM01C0075 carries 34 task orders, SAQMMA17D0075 carries 19 task orders worth $378 million in combined potential value, and SAQMMA12D0101 carries 16 task orders worth $232.8 million. These vehicles anchor AIT's relationship with the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs and related State Department components. Award activity has been modest and episodic — three awards in 2022, six in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one recorded in 2026 through the source's date — reflecting the contractor's role as a specialized service provider rather than a high-volume procurement recipient. Five awards (combined potential value $34.3 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure in that window.

Service Contract Inventory data present a narrow slice: SCI-reportable invoicing totaled $2.8 million across 15.2 FTEs in FY2023 only, with zero invoicing recorded in FY2022, FY2024, and FY2025 in the SCI dataset. This reflects the threshold-driven nature of SCI reporting (contracts above $150,000) and does not represent AIT's total federal revenue — the combined potential value across all 239 awards stands at $2.8 billion, with $1.13 billion obligated as of the source date. On the SCI-reportable contracts captured, median government-paid rates ran around $96/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $386,352/hr; the extreme outlier likely reflects fixed-price or labor-hours contracts loaded with indirect costs rather than hourly rates per se. AIT performs work across Arlington, Virginia (administrative and training operations), Taiwan (lease, consular, and law enforcement support), and Washington, DC (payroll and Foreign Service Institute contracts), with most operational performance in-country at AIT's physical presence in Taipei. The organization's federal footprint is entirely State Department–dependent and Taiwan-focused, with no diversification into other regions or customers outside the State system.
