KLM Middle East General Trading L.l.c

KLM Middle East General Trading L.L.C., a United Arab Emirates–based for-profit sole proprietorship, supplies commercial goods and equipment to the Department of State and subordinate agencies as a prime contractor, competing on an unrestricted basis without SBA set-aside designations across a portfolio of 255 awards worth $13.9 million in combined potential value.

The company's capability footprint centers on procuring and delivering passenger and cargo vehicles, household appliances, HVAC and refrigeration equipment, facility maintenance supplies, and industrial equipment to support U.S. diplomatic operations and facilities overseas. Representative work includes a $235.2 million purchase order from the Bureau of African Affairs for Toyota vehicles in Angola (Sep 2021), a $375.6 million order for Toyota vehicles at the U.S. Embassy in Luanda (Sep 2021), a $220 thousand order from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs for a telehandler offshore (Sep 2023), a $1.001 million Navy Installations Command BPA call for large 385-liter refrigerators in Italy (Aug 2023), multiple Air Forces Europe and Africa BPA calls totaling over $700 thousand for washers, dryers, and refrigerators at Aviano Air Base and other European installations (Aug–Sep 2025), and ongoing sub-million purchase orders from State Department regional bureaus for vehicles, air purifiers, generators, plumbing supplies, and office equipment.

The Bureau of African Affairs dominates the customer portfolio by volume and dollars, accounting for 81 awards (32% of total) valued at $4.6 million. The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs places the second-largest volume (54 awards, $2.3 million), followed by the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (38 awards, $1 million), Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (19 awards, $973 thousand), and Bureau of Diplomatic Security (11 awards, $565 thousand). These five customers account for 80% of awards and 72% of combined potential value. A secondary customer base includes Air Forces Europe and Africa (7 awards, $1.1 million), USAID regional missions, the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and subordinate Defense Intelligence Agency and Security Assistance Command offices, indicating State Department concentration with secondary DoD exposure tied to specific regional logistics and equipment needs.

KLM Middle East places task orders under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (FA564121A0015) with Air Forces Europe and Africa established in December 2020 and running through December 2030, carrying an estimated annual value of $5 million to $7 million across household appliances for U.S. military facilities in Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. The company has delivered over $1.2 million under this BPA to date, primarily large-capacity refrigerators. All other awards are standalone purchase orders with no parent IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles cited.

Activity has cycled between 36 and 51 awards annually over the past five years, with 36 in 2022, 51 in 2023, 40 each in 2024 and 2025, and only 3 awards to date in 2026. Four awards with combined potential value of $158 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest near-term recompete exposure. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the source. Performance locations span the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, Angola, Nigeria), South and Central Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Afghanistan), and subordinate U.S. military installations in Europe (Italy, Germany). Average award size is approximately $54 thousand, with the modal award in the $10 thousand to $75 thousand range, indicating a high-transaction-count, lower-unit-value supplier model typical of regional equipment and supplies distribution. KLM competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside participation across its portfolio.
