The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Zahra Hamidi, doing business as Sprachlehrerin Zahra Hamidi, a non-profit sole proprietorship based in Germany. The BPA, valued at up to $250,000, provides for the delivery of firm fixed price call orders for Persian-Farsi language instruction and related services to support DSCA's security cooperation initiatives. Hamidi, who has specialized in Persian-Farsi language training since 2008, will provide various forms of language instruction, course material development, and administrative support for DSCA students at the George C. Marshall Center in Garmisch, Germany. The BPA has a base period of one year with four one-year option periods, or a six-month extension. A prior, similar BPA was awarded in December 2019 to facilitate DSCA's Farsi language training requirements. The services aim to build proficiency in the language for U.S. personnel and international partners engaged in security cooperation programs utilizing the Farsi language. The original solicitation, a Special Notice posted by the George C. Marshall Center, sought a contractor to provide non-personal Persian-Farsi foreign language instruction and related administrative support services. Interested parties must demonstrate fluency in Persian-Farsi and relevant teaching credentials and experience. The potential award covers 30 hours of weekly classroom instruction, along with developing materials, assigning homework, assessing students, and performing administrative duties in compliance with security protocols. No set-asides were used, and the prime contractor will perform all call order services without major subcontracting arrangements.
