Saham Assurance Vie CI

Saham Assurance Vie CI, doing business as Compagnie D'Assurances Ivorian, a for-profit insurance provider headquartered in Cote d'Ivoire, serves as prime contractor exclusively to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs and Bureau of Diplomatic Security, delivering health and life insurance coverage for locally employed staff, American employees, dependents, and contractors at U.S. diplomatic missions across Africa. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its entire prime footprint.

Saham's federal customer base is concentrated almost entirely within a single bureau. The Department of State Bureau of African Affairs accounts for 55 of 56 awards and $18.5 million of the $18.8 million combined potential value; the Bureau of Diplomatic Security holds a single $271 thousand award. No secondary customer diversification exists in the source data. Insurance delivery work spans primary NAICS categories including Insurance Agencies and Brokerages (26 awards), Direct Life Insurance Carriers (16 awards), and Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers (14 awards), with corresponding PSC coding split between Social Government Health Insurance Programs (40 awards) and Social Government Life Insurance Programs (16 awards).

Saham operates under four indefinite delivery contracts serving as the primary vehicle structure for task order issuance. IDC 191V1021D0002 supports 15 task orders valued at $4.1 million combined; IDC SIV10016D0005 carries 13 task orders at $3.1 million; IDC 191V1021D0003 holds 13 task orders at $501 thousand; and IDC SIV10016D0007 encompasses 11 task orders at $486 thousand. Representative delivery orders include a $609 thousand health insurance contract for mission employees and dependents issued May 12, 2025, a $547 thousand health insurance award for locally employed staff and dependents from May 8, 2024, and a $486 thousand health and life insurance administration contract from May 9, 2022. Recent activity shows volatility: five awards in 2022 and 2024, four in 2023, ten in 2025, and two through mid-2026. Only two awards carrying $318 thousand combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Saham has executed exclusively as prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor's award history spans a decade, with consistent delivery-order issuance under the same four IDV vehicles, reflecting an entrenched sole-source relationship tied to the Bureau's insurance procurement infrastructure in Cote d'Ivoire and across African diplomatic operations.
