Electro Sistemas De Panama SA

Electro Sistemas De Panama SA, doing business as Electro Sistemas, is a Panama City–based security services contractor operating as a 100% prime contractor supplying alarm monitoring, electromechanical alarm system installation, and fire suppression system maintenance to U.S. diplomatic and federal facilities in Panama. The vendor competes without set-aside designation on a full-and-open basis across all 73 awards in the source record dating back to 2006, with no subcontractor role and no participation in federal set-aside categories.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of State. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security dominates award volume (42 awards, $1 million combined potential value) but not potential-value share; the Smithsonian Institution anchors the dollar ranking with 19 awards worth $1.4 million combined potential value. The Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, U.S. Embassy Panama City, and the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs comprise the remaining active set. These five entities account for 93% of awards (68 awards) and 97% of combined potential value. The divergence between volume and dollars reflects Smithsonian fire suppression and alarm maintenance contracts with higher ceiling values ($121 thousand to $163 thousand per purchase order) versus the Diplomatic Security Bureau's recurring monthly and bimonthly alarm monitoring delivery orders (typically $10 thousand to $40 thousand per order).

Electro Sistemas holds five single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with State Department entities. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM07016D0001, which issued 13 task orders valued at $509 thousand combined; this vehicle is the primary host for Diplomatic Security's recurring alarm monitoring work. A recently awarded IDC (August 1, 2025, ceiling $140 thousand, completion January 31, 2027) issued four delivery orders between September 2025 and June 2026 for residential alarm services. Three older IDCs—19PM0721D0001 ($163 thousand ceiling, 9 task orders), 19PM0719D0002 ($99 thousand combined value, 8 task orders), and 19PM0723D0002 ($147 thousand combined value, 8 task orders)—reflect the vendor's tenure as the Bureau's preferred single-source provider for Panama-based diplomatic security infrastructure.

Capability work is narrowly scoped to alarm and fire suppression services. Representative examples include a $22.65 thousand Diplomatic Security Bureau delivery order (June 1, 2026, completion August 31, 2026) for alarm monitoring at embassy residences; a $163.7 thousand Smithsonian Institution purchase order (October 7, 2023, completion August 31, 2026) for fire suppression system maintenance; and a $121.4 thousand Smithsonian purchase order (April 30, 2025, completion March 31, 2026) for fire alarm maintenance at Panama facilities. The source's category concentration data confirms PSC dominance: 39 of 71 awards fall under "Installation of Equipment—Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems," with 9 under "Lease or Rental" of alarm equipment and 5 under "Fire Control Systems."

Activity has remained modest and volatile. The five-year cadence shows 5 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 3 in 2026 (through July). Only one award ($16 thousand combined potential value) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, yielding minimal recompete cliff exposure. The combined potential value across all 73 awards is $3.8 million with $2.3 million obligated (61% burn rate), indicating a small, stable, single-geography vendor locked into recurring diplomatic and institutional security maintenance cycles in Panama with no federal presence beyond that theater.
