Bruno Blumenfeld

Bruno Blumenfeld, doing business as Language Services, is a sole proprietorship based in New York City that provides translation, interpretation, and language training services to the federal government as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement. All sixty-one awards in the source record are prime contract awards with no subcontract activity; the vendor operates as an individual proprietor competing directly for work without SBA designations.

The vendor's entire portfolio concentrates on a single customer: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for thirty-seven awards (62% of all awards) with $890 thousand in combined potential value, representing 89% of the vendor's total combined potential value of $1 million. Work is performed in Washington, D.C., supporting diplomatic and administrative initiatives including international visitor leadership programs, cultural exchange efforts, and language support for cybersecurity discussions. Representative awards include a $14,328 BPA call from October 2023 with ultimate completion in March 2024, a $13,455 call from October 2022 through August 2023, and a $8,300 call from October 2025 with ultimate completion in November 2026. Individual call values are small, ranging from $322 to $14,328; the vendor operates as a contracted linguist providing on-demand translation and interpretation rather than as a staffed organization.

Language Services holds three active Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The current vehicle, BPA 190PRL25A0096 awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling and runs through September 30, 2026, with five task orders generating $31 thousand in combined potential value. The prior BPA 190PRL23A0096, awarded October 1, 2023 with a $150 thousand ceiling through September 2024, supported five task orders worth $28 thousand. An earlier BPA 190PRL22A0096 (October 2022 through September 2023) with a $150 thousand ceiling generated four task orders totaling $23 thousand. Task orders issued under these vehicles are priced on firm fixed price terms with no set-aside designation applied.

Activity has been flat over the past five years — five awards in 2021 to five in 2024, with only one award recorded in 2025 — and the recompete exposure is minimal: just one award worth $8 thousand completes within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated stand at $357 thousand (35% of combined potential value), reflecting the modest scale of individual calls and the gap between ceiling and invoiced work on standing BPAs.
