Space Al Arabi General Trading CO. WLL

Space Al Arabi General Trading CO. WLL's General Trading & Construction Division, a Kuwait-based for-profit partnership, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering logistics and equipment procurement to U.S. military operations across the Middle East, with no subcontract footprint and no set-aside designations — all work competes full-and-open against qualified vendors.

The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on forward-supply logistics for Department of Defense installations in the Middle East, grounded in 158 prime awards spanning construction materials, HVAC and cooling systems, communications and electrical equipment, and consumables. Representative work includes a $473,043.96 Air Combat Command purchase order for York chiller units in Qatar (June 2022), a $4,999,999 multiple-award blanket purchase agreement with Air Combat Command for industry-standard cabling materials at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar through September 2029, a $1,104,200 Air Force order for lodging mattresses in support of expeditionary fast sealift ship requirements in Saudi Arabia (February 2025), and a $351,825.21 Army Forces Command order for humanitarian child health and nutrition sustainment supplies in support of Operation Allies Refuge (August 2021). More recently, the vendor delivered twelve chartered buses and drivers to the Marine Corps in Saudi Arabia ($226,320, March 2026) and T-walls to Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service for the QUADCON project build in Saudi Arabia ($43,434.46, January 2026).

Air Combat Command dominates customer concentration, anchoring 75 awards worth $17.2 million in combined potential value (62% of the total portfolio) and representing the bulk of order volume over the past five years. Air Force Central Command places 52 awards worth $4.7 million (17% of portfolio dollars). The Department of the Air Force (non-command), Marine Corps, and Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service round out the top five, each contributing under $1 million. The two rankings track closely — Air Combat Command leads both volume and dollars — indicating consistent deal size rather than concentration of dollars in occasional large awards. The Marine Corps, while small in dollar terms ($559 thousand), entered the vendor's active portfolio in March 2026 with two transportation purchases, signaling a new customer relationship.

Space Al Arabi holds nine single-award and multiple-award blanket purchase agreements across Air Combat Command, Air Force Central Command, and Office of the Secretary of Defense, with combined ceiling values exceeding $8.7 million through 2031. The flagship vehicle is the $4,999,999 Air Combat Command BPA for cabling materials at Al Udeid Air Base running through September 2029, which has generated three task orders to date. A $1,500,000 Air Force BPA for paint, reflective beads, and rubber removal services (Operation Freedom's Sentinel) and a $600,000 Air Force Central Command BPA for mattress delivery to Ali Al Salem Air Base complete the higher-value portfolio. Smaller BPAs cover lodging ($500,000), janitorial supplies ($400,000), construction materials ($351,000), and office automation toner cartridges ($350,000, Office of Secretary of Defense, through October 2028). A newly awarded $4,900,000 multiple-award BPA with Air Combat Command for WiFi pucks and 12-month SIMs (April 2026) extends the vehicle portfolio through April 2031.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor averaged 20+ awards annually in 2022–2023 but has dropped to single digits since 2024 (12 in 2024, 9 in 2025, 5 in 2026 year-to-date as of mid-April). Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $27.6 million, with $11.1 million obligated (40% execution rate). No awards in the source data explicitly enter recompete or expiration windows in the next twenty-four months; however, several single-award BPAs expire between February and October 2025 (construction materials BPA, mattress BPA, lodging BPA, janitorial BPA), representing potential recompete opportunity.

The vendor's performance geography spans Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, with administrative oversight in Kuwait. NAICS concentration aligns with the logistics portfolio: Other Building Material Dealers (12 awards), HVAC manufacturing (10 awards), electrical equipment and wire wholesale (8 awards), communication wire manufacturing (7 awards), and miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing (6 awards). PSC codes reinforce the same scope: Miscellaneous Construction Materials (17 awards), Air Conditioning Equipment (10 awards), Communication Cable and Wire Assemblies (9 awards), and Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (7 awards). Space Al Arabi has operated in federal contracting continuously since at least October 2014 and maintains active SAM.gov registration.
