Baghdasarian Louisa

Baghdasarian Louisa, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Rockville, Maryland, provides translation, interpretation, and linguistic support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor operating exclusively under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across a 68-award footprint spanning the past several years.

The vendor's federal work is entirely concentrated with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 65 awards (96% of recent volume) with $749 thousand in combined potential value, supplemented by 3 awards directly from the Department of State for $2 thousand. All work falls under PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting and NAICS 611399 (Translation and Interpretation Services). Baghdasarian Louisa holds no parent IDVs and operates exclusively as a prime under multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements established by the Bureau of Administration; task orders issued since October 2021 span language services ($800 to $9,100 per call), Armenia-related analytical and advisory work (country profiles, bilateral trade comparisons, diplomatic coordination, nuclear cooperation support), international exchange programming (workshops and competency-based education initiatives), and specialized linguistic support. Representative task orders include a $9,100 language services BPA call awarded October 1, 2024 with completion through October 25, 2025; a $7,728 language services call from October 1, 2023; and a $2,830 international workshop call (Global Ties BPA) from October 1, 2021. The vendor's four active Blanket Purchase Agreements—carrying ceiling values of $250 thousand (2024–2026), $150 thousand (2023–2024), $100 thousand (2022–2023), and $100 thousand (2021–2022)—generate the majority of task order volume, with 20 orders under the current BPA 190PRL24A0377 ($33 thousand combined value) and 18 orders under the prior-year BPA 190PRL23A0377 ($29 thousand combined value).

Activity peaked in 2022–2023 (19 and 21 awards respectively), declining to 6 awards in 2024 and 3 in 2025, representing a pronounced contraction in task order volume. Combined potential value across all 68 awards stands at $752 thousand with $152 thousand obligated to date (20% execution rate), reflecting the modular, call-based structure of language services BPAs and the vendor's position as a microbusiness anchor for State Department linguistic and program-support needs. The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint and competes in a single customer-agency relationship with no parent vehicles or teaming arrangements.
