Kothe & Ritter GMBH

Kothe & Ritter GMBH, a Berlin-based for-profit insurance services provider registered in Germany, holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs and operates as a prime contractor on motor vehicle liability insurance and roadside assistance delivery orders issued by more than twenty federal agencies across civilian and defense organizations. The vendor competes without set-aside designation on fully open, firm fixed-price terms, serving the U.S. government footprint in Germany and the European Union.

Kothe & Ritter GMBH's federal work is narrowly specialized: comprehensive government-owned vehicle fleet insurance, including motor vehicle liability coverage and roadside assistance, for U.S. diplomatic missions and federal agency operations throughout Germany and the European Union. Recent representative awards include a $35,723.74 delivery order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs for U.S. Mission Germany insurance (August 2025), a $26,976.61 delivery order from the same bureau for similar scope (August 2025), and a $9,242.95 delivery order from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security for option year 2 insurance services (August 2026). The vast majority of the vendor's delivery orders carry ceiling values under $5,000 and reflect incremental additions to fleet coverage or adjustments to vehicle counts across multiple federal agencies leveraging the same parent IDC.

Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversifiable. The top five funding agencies account for 61% of awards by count, and the Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs alone anchors 22 awards valued at $785 thousand combined potential value — representing 90% of the vendor's entire federal dollar base. The second-largest customer, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, carries 9 awards worth only $33 thousand. All other agencies place sporadic small orders; the U.S. Embassy Berlin, a State Department sub-office, accounts for 11 awards but only $8 thousand in value. The vendor serves 23 distinct customer agencies across civilian and defense, but 96% of combined potential value concentrates with the Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

All 83 delivery orders flow from a single parent vehicle: an indefinite delivery contract (19GE5024D0017) awarded by the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs on August 1, 2024, with a ceiling of $593,289.75, a one-year base period plus four one-year option years running through July 31, 2027, and place of performance in Germany and other EU nations. The IDC's structure enables multiple federal agencies to issue task orders without rebidding; recent delivery order activity spans August 2024 through September 2026, with values ranging from under one hundred dollars to approximately $35,700. Twenty-four awards (combined potential value $92 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure.

The vendor's award footprint carries 84 prime awards (100% of recent activity) across NAICS 524298 (Insurance Agencies and Brokerages) and PSC code R499 (Social — Non-Government Insurance Programs, 79 of 84 awards). The combined federal potential value is $873 thousand, with $276 thousand obligated to date (32% draw rate), reflecting a high proportion of task orders in early-stage execution. Activity has grown modestly year over year — 24 awards in 2024 to 32 in 2025 to 28 in 2026 — but growth is driven entirely by proliferation of small task orders under the single IDC rather than by expansion into new vehicles, agencies, or capability areas. The vendor holds no GSA Schedules, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs beyond the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs contract. Kothe & Ritter GMBH engages no subcontractors; all 84 awards are direct prime performance.
