About this IDV
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Administration awarded a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Kamal Shamim, a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Asian Indian American-owned small business, with an overall ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period through September 30, 2025. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, designated "SHAMIM KAMAL LSA," was awarded on a full and open competitive basis without set-asides and provides a structured mechanism for procuring language services to support the Department's diplomatic operations and international program management. The BPA allows the government to issue task orders on an as-needed basis for professional foreign language services, including interpreting, translating, and training solutions. Kamal Shamim, based in Houston, Texas, has progressively increased its contract ceiling values with the Bureau of Administration, with this current BPA representing the highest potential value in the company's contractual relationship with the Department of State.
Two firm fixed-price BPA call task orders were issued under this agreement on October 1, 2024, each valued at $10,600 and designated for "Language Services" with performance locations in Washington, DC. The first task order carries an ultimate completion date of August 16, 2025, while the second extends through September 6, 2025. Both orders are not set-aside and represent typical utilization of the BPA vehicle for discrete language service requirements supporting the Department's operations. These call contracts exemplify the flexibility of the BPA structure, allowing the government to rapidly procure specialized language services while maintaining cost control through predetermined pricing. Individual task orders under the BPA have historically ranged from nominal amounts to over $24,000, demonstrating the vehicle's capacity to accommodate varying operational requirements across the Bureau of Administration and the Department of State's Office of Language Services.
