Abbud Maria

Abbud Maria, a Denver-based sole proprietorship, provides foreign language translation and interpretation services to the Department of State Bureau of Administration as a prime contractor on 126 small-dollar BPA calls, operating full-and-open with no set-aside designation. The vendor is certified as a minority-owned business, woman-owned business, and self-certified small disadvantaged business, competing on commercial terms rather than through socioeconomic set-asides.

Abbud Maria's customer concentration is near-total: 125 of 126 awards (100% of combined potential value at $834 thousand) flow from the Department of State Bureau of Administration, with a single $115 award from the Department of State proper. The vendor's entire portfolio consists of language services — translation and interpretation work across multiple foreign languages including Spanish and Portuguese — delivered to support the Bureau's diplomatic missions, human rights monitoring, climate and economic advisory services, and information technology operations. Representative work includes task orders ranging from $30 to $3,960 under the current "NINA ABBUD-MADRID LSA" BPA (ceiling $250 thousand, Oct 2024–Sep 2026) and prior BPAs capped at $150 thousand each (Oct 2023–Sep 2024 and Oct 2022–Sep 2023).

The vendor operates exclusively through Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The current active vehicle, BPA 190PRL25A0750, carries 59 task orders worth $13 thousand in combined potential value as of the most recent snapshot. Prior-year vehicles include BPA 190PRL24A0750 (30 task orders, $30 thousand), BPA 190PRL22A0750 (15 task orders, $47 thousand), BPA 190PRL23A0750 (10 task orders, $15 thousand), and BPA 190PRL18A0750 (1 task order, $15 thousand). All work is performed on a firm fixed-price basis, primarily at the contractor's Denver location or at the agency's Washington, D.C. offices.

Activity peaked in 2024 with 59 awards, up from 31 in 2023 and 16 in 2021, reflecting expanded ordering frequency against successive BPA recompetes. Only one award appears in 2025 within the source window (Oct 1, 2025–present). Combined obligated dollars total $184 thousand against $834 thousand in combined potential ceiling value (22% draw-down), a pattern typical of recurring language-services BPAs where task orders are issued as immediate needs arise. Abbud Maria has held a continuous contractual relationship with the State Department Bureau of Administration since at least 2007, per GovTribe summaries embedded in the award history, spanning multiple BPA recompete cycles and demonstrating sustained vendor performance in this narrow but stable niche.
