Davchem East Africa LIMITED

Davchem East Africa LIMITED, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, provides water treatment plant maintenance, facilities engineering, and mechanical systems services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on purchase orders and delivery orders at U.S. diplomatic facilities across East Africa. All 17 recent federal awards are primes; the vendor operates without SBA set-asides and competes full-and-open against larger federal contractors for individual facility maintenance and upgrade work.

Davchem's customer base is entirely consolidated within the Department of State. The Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for 14 awards and $1 million in combined potential value across all work. The Bureau of African Affairs placed one award valued at $298,522 for automated fuel management and monitoring system supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning at the U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura, Burundi. The U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam issued one indefinite delivery contract ceiling of $240,600 for potable water system preventive maintenance running through December 30, 2028, with an embedded $66,300 task order. The U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura issued one definitive contract at zero ceiling value. Combined potential value across all 17 awards sits at $1.6 million, with $1.1 million obligated to date (71% of potential).

Davchem's capability portfolio centers on water infrastructure maintenance and facilities engineering at diplomatic posts. Representative work includes a $218,000 wastewater plant operations and maintenance contract for Equatorial Guinea (July 2026), a $213,142 definitive contract to replace faulty dual-train triplex pumps at a water treatment plant in Burundi (August 2024), a $102,599 purchase order to supply triplex and booster pumps in Kenya (September 2026), a $75,400 delivery order for preventive maintenance of water treatment plants in Tanzania (June 2026), and a $298,522 automated fuel management system supply and installation contract at the Bujumbura Embassy (October 2024). Work spans preventive maintenance of potable water systems, wastewater treatment plant repairs and operations, pump replacement and controls repair, HVAC chilled water system preventive maintenance and controls, fuel tank automation, and architect-and-engineering services for building maintenance. Place of performance is geographically distributed across Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi, and Equatorial Guinea.

Activity has accelerated in 2026—eight awards year to date versus three in 2023 and two in 2024. Six awards (combined potential value $561 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete opportunity. Davchem holds a seat on one indefinite delivery contract (19TZ2025D0009) issued by the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, which carries a $240,600 ceiling and runs through December 30, 2028. The vendor operates without subcontractors in its recent award portfolio and does not appear on any government-wide vehicles or multi-agency BPAs. Work is structured as small, episodic purchase orders and delivery orders rather than as large, open-ended task orders, reflecting the vendor's role as a regional facilities maintenance provider embedded in East African diplomatic infrastructure rather than as a national systems integrator or platform contractor.
