Knight Frank LLP

Knight Frank LLP, a London-based international real estate consultancy, provides property valuations, market studies, site searches, brokerage services, and transaction advisory support to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under multiple delivery order vehicles, with no subcontract activity. The firm operates on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis and competes across a diverse geographic footprint spanning diplomatic facilities worldwide.

Knight Frank's federal customer base is singular and concentrated. The Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for 415 of 427 awards (97% coverage) and $46.9 million of the $47.1 million combined potential value; a single Department of State Office of the Secretary of State award adds $35 thousand. The vendor has held federal contracts continuously since 2006 and remains registered in SAM.gov, performing all work in-house with no recorded subcontract relationships.

The vendor's capability set aligns tightly with diplomatic real estate management. Recent representative work includes an $882 thousand delivery order (awarded August 25, 2026) for real estate services supporting international properties in Mexico under the International Real Estate Appraisal and Advisory Services IDIQ; a $375,380 delivery order (awarded September 10, 2024) for real estate services for international embassies in Pakistan, extended via no-cost modification through April 2028; a $293,400 delivery order (awarded January 2, 2025) for international property real estate services; and a $141,750 delivery order (awarded January 27, 2025) for real estate services supporting international embassies in Mexico, extending performance through December 2026. Smaller orders span site appraisals ($4 thousand to $44 thousand), brokerage services for diplomatic asset disposals ($20 thousand to $107 thousand), and market studies ($28 thousand to $33 thousand) across Pakistan, Mexico, Lebanon, Cote d'Ivoire, Bulgaria, Qatar, and other bilateral mission countries.

Knight Frank operates under five named parent IDIQs and delivery order vehicles. The International Real Estate Appraisal and Advisory Services vehicle carries 141 task orders valued at $2.7 million combined potential value. Three additional indefinite delivery contracts (SAQMMA13D0086, SAQMMA07D0053, and SAQMMA13D0109) collectively represent 271 task orders and $7.5 million in combined potential value. Work is categorized primarily as real property appraisals (350 awards, PSC Support-Professional: Real Property Appraisals) and real estate brokerage (48 awards, PSC Support-Professional: Real Estate Brokerage), with NAICS coding split between Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers (291 awards) and Offices of Real Estate Appraisers (101 awards).

Activity has declined modestly in recent years. The vendor earned 24 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 7 through August 2026 — a trajectory reflecting smaller, shorter-duration task order cycles typical of diplomatic facility support work. Ten awards (combined potential value $1.6 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for Knight Frank and opportunity for competitors seeking entry into State Department real estate advisory vehicles. The vendor's obligated dollars stand at $11.7 million against a $47.1 million combined potential value ceiling (25% utilization), indicating significant pipeline depth but uneven task order velocity year to year.
