Bialostosky, Anna K

Bialostosky, Anna K, a woman-owned small business sole proprietor based in Washington, DC, provides professional translation, interpretation, and foreign language training services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements, competing under full and open procedures with no set-aside designation.

The vendor operates exclusively as a language-services provider under PSC Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting, with all 54 awards (100% prime, no subcontract activity) issued by the Department of State Bureau of Administration since October 2017. Bialostosky is registered as a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business and Woman-Owned Small Business and has maintained continuous SAM registration since May 2017. The vendor's service portfolio spans professional foreign language translation and interpretation, audio-visual distance training development, foreign language instruction, summit logistics coordination, and general linguistic operational support to enable the Bureau's global diplomatic activities and administrative functions.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 48 of 54 awards and $1 million of $1 million combined potential value. Six additional awards from the broader Department of State carry $8 thousand combined potential value. The vendor serves a single contracting organization.

Bialostosky holds three active BPA vehicles with the Bureau of Administration. The most recent, awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026, with nine task orders issued immediately on award date totaling $23,591. A prior $150 thousand BPA (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024) supported fourteen task orders. The preceding $150 thousand BPA (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023) generated fifteen task orders totaling approximately $150 thousand. Earlier vehicles include a $150 thousand BPA (2018–2023) with one task order and a smaller vehicle. Task orders are structured as firm-fixed-price calls with short performance windows (typically one to six months) and ceiling values ranging from $375 to $15,210, reflecting ad hoc, as-needed tasking for translation, interpretation, and language support across the Bureau's operations.

Activity patterns show a spike in 2022 (15 awards), subsequent normalization to 10 awards each year in 2023 and 2024, and 6 awards year to date in 2025. Combined potential value across all 54 awards totals $1 million with $373 thousand obligated (36% utilization), indicating a significant spread between ceiling and actual spend across the vendor's BPA holdings. Place of performance is Washington, DC for all work.
