Beard Majka

Beard Majka, a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Sarasota, Florida, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor competing under full and open (non-set-aside) procedures. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime — 100% of its federal award footprint — across 52 awards with a combined potential value of $690 thousand, all concentrated within the Department of State Bureau of Administration (50 awards, $689 thousand) and a single Department of State language services task (2 awards, $364).

Beard Majka's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on on-demand translation and interpretation services to support State Department administrative and operational communications in Washington, D.C. Representative work includes multiple blanket purchase agreement call orders for language services ranging from $52 to $4,080 in individual value, awarded by the Bureau of Administration under firm fixed-price terms. The vendor holds three successive annual multiple-award BPAs with the Bureau, each with a $150,000 ceiling and running dates of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023; October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024; and a refreshed $250,000 BPA running October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026. Against these vehicles, the Bureau has issued numerous small call orders for translation and interpretation, typically completed within weeks to a few months of issuance.

Activity contracted sharply after 2023, when the vendor received 19 awards; 2024 saw 11 awards, and 2025 has generated only 2 awards to date. Combined dollars obligated total $40 thousand (6% of combined potential value), indicating that while call-order ceilings are set, actual invoicing or obligation remains low relative to the BPA ceilings. The vendor carries no subcontract relationships and does not appear on parent vehicles beyond its own State Department BPAs. All awards lack set-aside designations, positioning Beard Majka as a full-and-open competitor with no SBA certifications or disadvantaged-business affiliations noted in the source.
