Ark Group Dmcc

Ark Group Dmcc, doing business as Ark, is a Dubai-based for-profit limited liability company that delivers tactical law enforcement and security training, conflict research and data services, and stabilization programming to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development as a prime contractor in full-and-open and small business set-aside competitions. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint in federal work.

Ark's federal capability portfolio centers on field training delivery and conflict-zone research in fragile and hostile regions. The most recent and highest-value award is a $5.77 million firm-fixed-price contract from the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement, awarded July 31, 2026, to deliver a six-week Tactical Operations in Urban Terrain training program to the Haitian National Police across three consecutive recruit courses (Courses 37, 38, and 39), with approximately 1,200 recruits per course. Training runs through July 30, 2027, and covers weapons handling, squad formations, room clearance, vehicle checkpoints, and pistol and rifle qualification, delivered daily Monday through Saturday at the Recruit Training Centre in Port-au-Prince. Ark is responsible for instructor deployment, armored vehicle transportation, medical support, Defense Base Act insurance, and translation of all materials to Creole; the government furnishes small arms. A second representative award is a $227,790.50 firm-fixed-price contract from the Bureau of Conflict Stabilization Operations, awarded September 25, 2023, for research data, collection services, and analysis on armed groups in the Yemeni governorate of Aden, running through May 16, 2025. Earlier work for the same bureau includes a $61,927.82 Yemen research project completed March 30, 2023.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the State Department and USAID. The Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement anchors potential value at $5.8 million (one award), while the Bureau of Conflict Stabilization Operations holds three awards at $360 thousand combined potential value. The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, USAID Yemen, and USAID's Middle East Regional Program Office Frankfurt round out five distinct customer agencies. Two awards (combined potential value $5.8 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure.

Ark also holds federal grant recognition as a prime recipient of two USAID cooperative agreements: "Building Peace in Yemen" from the US Mission in Yemen (awarded October 1, 2022, running through September 30, 2027) and a Yemen Community Resilience award from the Middle East Regional Program Office, Frankfurt (awarded August 30, 2022, running through August 29, 2027), both focused on community stabilization, child reintegration, and anti-trafficking programming in Yemen.

Activity is episodic—one award in 2018, one in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, and one in 2026—with seven total prime awards and combined potential value of $6.1 million. The vendor carries no SCI-reportable service contract activity as a prime; two SCI records show the vendor named as a subcontractor in FY2024 and FY2025 (0.5 and 2.3 FTEs, respectively), indicating occasional sub-work outside the main award footprint.
