Abdi Asmaa S

Abdi Asmaa S, a sole proprietorship based in Silver Spring, Maryland, provides foreign language interpretation, translation, and cultural expertise services to the Department of State as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across a $1.3 million award footprint.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of State. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 48 awards valued at $1.3 million combined potential value, representing 96% of all recent awards. Two additional Department of State entities — the Department of State proper and the Department of State Office of Language Services — together account for the remaining four percent. The source notes that Abdi Asmaa S has accumulated over $2 million in similar language services contracts with the Department of State since 2019, with the current footprint capturing recent activity. All work is performed in Washington, D.C.

Abdi Asmaa S holds positions on five Department of State Bureau of Administration blanket purchase agreements with fiscal-year cycling. The largest active vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL23A0031, under which five task orders carry $205 thousand combined potential value. Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0031 (current fiscal year) holds six task orders valued at $54 thousand; Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL24A0031 holds eight task orders at $65 thousand; and Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL22A0031 holds five task orders at $41 thousand. Earlier vehicle 190PRL21A0031 carried nine task orders at $24 thousand. Recent representative call orders include a $14,381 language services task order awarded October 1, 2024 under the current-year BPA, a $157,020 call order for language services awarded October 1, 2022, and a $12,452 call order for youth volunteerism and civic engagement services awarded October 1, 2021.

Activity has been uneven over the past five years — eight awards in 2021, declining to six in both 2022 and 2024, with nine in 2023 and only one award recorded in 2025 to date. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $10 thousand in potential value, presenting minimal recompete risk in the immediate pipeline. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $471 thousand, representing 37% of combined potential value, indicating that much of the vendor's backlog remains unexercised or in early execution phases.
