About the company
Shahrzad Arasteh, doing business as Career Consulting Services, operates as a sole proprietorship providing career counseling, professional development training, and instructional support services to the Department of State's Foreign Service Institute as a prime contractor on purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls. The vendor competes entirely in full-and-open procurement — no set-aside designations appear across the award footprint — and holds a $200,000 multiple-award BPA with FSI running through December 2027.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on specialized career development and transition counseling for Foreign Affairs professionals. Representative work includes a $14,616 firm-fixed-price BPA call (August 2024) providing counselor services for FSI's Junior Summer Enrichment Program; a $13,050 firm-fixed-price BPA call (August 2023) for the same program's August 2023 cohort; a $2,850 firm-fixed-price purchase order (March 2026) for three counseling sessions addressing spouse and significant other transition issues; and a $2,550 firm-fixed-price purchase order (June 2025) for general training services in support of professional development. All work is performed in Arlington, Virginia or the vendor's Edgewater, Maryland base.
Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of State's Foreign Service Institute accounts for all 16 of the vendor's recent prime awards, representing $489,000 of the $492,000 combined potential value across the entire footprint. The vendor's entire federal business runs through FSI. Work is classified under NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) for sixteen awards and office administrative services for one award, with corresponding PSC coding in Education/Training categories.
Activity has been episodic. The vendor received two awards in 2022, then one award each in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — a flat trajectory over the past several years. Only one award with a combined potential value of $3,000 reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and operates exclusively as a prime.
