La Poste - SA

La Poste - SA, a for-profit limited liability company based in Dakar, Senegal, provides diplomatic mail handling, package transportation, and mailroom support services to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its entire federal footprint.

La Poste - SA's federal customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of State. The Bureau of African Affairs accounts for 34 of 42 total awards and $1.4 million of the $2.4 million combined potential value, while the U.S. Embassy in Dakar places 6 awards valued at $943 thousand. The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs and the Bureau of Public Affairs together represent one award and negligible dollars. This concentration reflects La Poste - SA's role as the primary local postal and logistics vendor supporting U.S. diplomatic operations in Senegal, with award activity spanning from October 2015 through April 2026.

La Poste - SA's work centers on mail distribution and franking services for diplomatic posts. Representative recent awards include a $112,551.72 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Bureau of African Affairs in April 2026 for ICASS Dakar Diplomatic Post Office handling services (completion April 2027), a $112,229.60 delivery order from March 2025 for mail transportation between Dakar and the Diplomatic Post Office, and a $101,591.08 delivery order from April 2024 for DPO handling and mail transportation services. The vendor holds two primary indefinite delivery contracts: a $481,292.31 single-award IDC for ICASS Dakar DPO handling and delivery services running through April 2027, which carries thirteen task orders valued at $535 thousand, and a $3 million blanket purchase agreement with the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs for post office delivery services. Four smaller IDCs support franking machine subscription renewals and related mailroom services, each with ceilings ranging from $144 to $164.

Activity has declined materially over the past three years—five awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, and one each in 2025 and 2026. Only one award with potential value of $113 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. La Poste - SA operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, performing all work in Senegal under ICASS cost-sharing arrangements typical of overseas diplomatic support services. The vendor's NAICS profile splits between mail-order houses (22 awards) and postal service (10 awards), with PSC coding centered on administrative support for mailing and distribution services.
