Bolanos Alban Fausto Tarquino

Bolanos Alban Fausto Tarquino, doing business as SOLE Proprietors, is a sole proprietorship based in Quito, Ecuador, that delivers construction, renovation, and infrastructure services to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor, operating entirely in-country with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily Department of State–centric, with 88% of recent awards distributed across four State bureaus. The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement leads by award count (7 awards, $977 thousand combined potential value), but the US Embassy Quito anchors the dollar concentration (2 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value). The Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (4 awards, $204 thousand) and the Office of Acquisition Management (1 award, $467 thousand) complete the set. The two rankings diverge slightly — Embassy Quito's higher potential value reflects larger single projects despite fewer awards, while INL's higher award count reflects smaller, frequent discrete work. All work is performed in Ecuador to support U.S. diplomatic and law enforcement infrastructure.

SOLE Proprietors' capability portfolio centers on facility construction, renovation, and maintenance services grounded in concrete projects: a $595,708 refurbishment of courtrooms at the National Court of Justice in Quito (awarded May 2026, completion March 2027) including hearing rooms, witness rooms, and deliberation spaces; a $538,377 renovation and enlargement of a veterinary clinic for the Unidad Canina Nacional at Pichincha (awarded September 2024, completed July 2025); a $467,300 repeater equipment refurbishment contract under State's Repeater IDIQ vehicle for radio systems support (awarded September 2022, completed June 2023); and a $379,883 construction contract for extension and improvements to veterinary facilities for the Unidad Canina Nacional Zone #8 in Guayaquil (awarded April 2023). The vendor also executes discrete materials and maintenance tasks such as a $127,445 refurbishment of the GOE Portoviejo facility (awarded July 2026, completion February 2027), perimeter wall repair, roofing materials supply, and kitchen restoration work.

Activity has been modest and episodic — two awards each in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2026, with three awards in 2023 — generating $3.6 million in combined potential value across sixteen awards since 2007. Obligated dollars total $3.1 million (86% of potential value), indicating consistent contract completion. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $723 thousand). The vendor operates without a parent vehicle footprint and does not sub to larger contractors; all work is direct prime contracting for State infrastructure and security missions in Ecuador.
