Aprelev, Pavel

Pavel Aprelev, operating as Aprelev, Pavel, is a sole proprietor based in Rockville, Maryland, providing foreign language translation and interpretation services to the Department of State and Voice of America under blanket purchase agreements and related BPA call orders on a full-and-open (no set-aside) basis. All 66 tracked awards are prime contracts; the vendor does not subcontract.

Aprelev's customer concentration is highly concentrated and divided between two agencies. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 32 awards with $762 thousand in combined potential value, while the U.S. Agency for Global Media's Voice of America accounts for 33 awards with $455 thousand combined potential value. The two agencies represent 100% of recent federal work. The Bureau of Administration holds three successive BPAs with Aprelev (ceiling values of $150 thousand through September 2023, $150 thousand through September 2024, and $250 thousand through September 2026), while Voice of America maintains multiple BPAs for Russian-language translation and interpretation services supporting the agency's Russian service and international broadcasting operations. Representative work includes a $28.8 thousand BPA call order from Voice of America for translator services completed in January 2025, multiple Department of State Bureau of Administration language-services BPA calls ranging from $110 to $2.7 thousand (awarded October 2022), and a $25.8 thousand call order from Voice of America for Russian-service translation and interpretation completed in January 2023. The Bureau of Administration BPA awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026, and constitutes the largest active vehicle.

Activity has declined sharply. Aprelev received ten awards per year in 2021 and 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025. Combined potential value across the entire tracked portfolio stands at $1.2 million, with $392 thousand obligated (32% utilization). The vendor has worked in this federal space since at least April 2010. Aprelev's work is classified primarily under NAICS 561436 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC codes for professional support and administrative translation and interpreting services. The vendor holds no government-wide vehicles, parent IDIQs, or seats on multi-agency acquisition frameworks; all work flows through agency-specific BPAs with State and USAGM.
