Mohammad O Aziz

Mohammad O Aziz is a sole proprietor registered to receive federal contract awards since 2007. Based on the award information, Aziz appears to be an individual operating as an independent contractor providing translation, interpretation and other language services to federal agencies.

The majority of Aziz's prime federal contract awards over the past several years have been blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call contracts for language services issued by the Department of State's Bureau of Administration. Under these firm fixed-price orders, Aziz delivers translation and interpretation support to aid the Department's operations and interactions with foreign entities. Call awards have ranged from just a few hundred dollars to over $14,000, with performance periods lasting from several weeks to over a year. The BPA calls do not designate set-asides or identify use of major subcontractors. In 2021 and 2022, Aziz was awarded approximately $100,000 in call contracts to provide services related to Operation Allies Welcome, the Department's initiative assisting vulnerable Afghans following U.S. withdrawal from the country. Beyond translation and interpretation services, Aziz also received a single award in 2021 to conduct Afghan parolee interviews in Maine to support the Department's refugee resettlement efforts.

Aziz holds multiple active BPA contracts functioning as indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicles for the Department of State to procure routine language services. The most recent BPA, awarded in 2023, has a $150,000 ceiling value and two-year period of performance for on-call translation and interpretation requirements. The prior BPA awarded in 2022 also had a $150,000 program ceiling. Under these agreements, the Department's Bureau of Administration issues firm fixed-priced call orders to Aziz as needs arise for services in Washington, D.C. or supporting initiatives abroad. An earlier 2021 BPA focused specifically on Operation Allies Welcome services to assist Afghan nationals, while the 2020 BPA was managed directly by the Department's Office of Language Services. Based on the award history, Aziz serves as a regular supplier of language services to the federal government, primarily through the flexible procurement methods afforded by the BPA contract vehicles established by the Department of State.
