Davchem East Africa LIMITED

Davchem East Africa LIMITED, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, delivers water treatment plant maintenance, fuel system automation, and facilities engineering services to the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations as a prime contractor operating without set-aside designation, exclusively supporting U.S. diplomatic facilities in East Africa (Tanzania and Burundi).

The vendor's entire award footprint consists of 13 prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicle awards across four Department of State customer entities, with no subcontract work. All four customer agencies (Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, Bureau of African Affairs, U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam, and U.S. Embassy Bujumbura) fall within the State Department's overseas buildings and diplomatic-mission support structure. The Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for 10 awards and $600 thousand in combined potential value, anchoring 77% of the vendor's named workload by award count. The Bureau of African Affairs, US Embassy Dar es Salaam, and US Embassy Bujumbura collectively represent the remaining three awards, with the African Affairs bureau and Dar es Salaam embassy carrying $299 thousand and $241 thousand in potential value respectively.

Davchem's capability portfolio centers on preventive and corrective maintenance of potable and wastewater treatment systems, fuel tank automation and monitoring, pump replacement, and facilities engineering at U.S. diplomatic posts. Recent representative work includes a $75.4 thousand firm fixed-price delivery order (June 2026) for preventive maintenance of water treatment plants in Tanzania through August 2027; a $33.5 thousand purchase order (June 2026) for supply, installation, and commissioning of a fuel tank level monitoring and control system at the U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura, completed August 2026; and a $298.5 thousand purchase order (October 2024) for supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and testing of an automated fuel management and monitoring system at the same Bujumbura embassy location. The vendor holds a position on a multi-award indefinite delivery contract (award date December 24, 2025, ceiling $240.6 thousand) for preventive maintenance of potable water systems at U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam, which has generated two task orders totaling $142 thousand.

Award activity has remained consistent at two to four awards per year over the past four years (2023–2026), with $1.1 million in combined potential value and $865 thousand obligated. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $205 thousand in combined potential value and representing recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS concentration clusters around water supply and irrigation systems (6 awards), electrical contractors and wiring installation (2 awards), and sewage treatment facilities (1 award), with primary PSC work in operation of water supply facilities and architect-and-engineering services for maintenance and construction.
