Boren Rita

Boren Rita, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Arlington, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, and logistical support services for diplomatic and administrative functions as a prime contractor exclusively to the Department of State, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations.

The vendor operates entirely within a narrow capability portfolio: language services (PSC Support — Administrative: Translation and Interpreting) with all 58 awards across the past eight years issued as BPA calls from the Department of State Bureau of Administration. Representative work includes a $7,416 ceiling-value BPA call awarded October 1, 2025, with completion by May 15, 2026; a $4,944 ceiling-value call for translation and interpretation support (October 1, 2025, completing July 17, 2026); and a $4,800 call order (October 1, 2023, completing February 29, 2024) supporting hybrid events, foreign minister meetings, and multilateral cooperation activities. The vendor holds or has held a series of multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration: a $250,000-ceiling BPA (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026); a $150,000-ceiling BPA (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024); a $150,000-ceiling BPA (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023); and earlier vehicles with completion dates from 2017 forward.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 51 awards ($708 thousand combined potential value, 97% of all awards), with the Department of State (non-Bureau) placing 7 additional awards ($21 thousand combined potential value, 3%). The two rankings converge completely — no tension between volume and dollars. Activity remained relatively steady at 12–16 awards per year from 2022–2024, then dropped to 7 awards in 2025, reflecting the vendor's dependence on individual task-order issuance cadence against its standing BPA vehicles. The primary vehicle, BPA 190PRL25A0579 (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026), carries 18 task orders worth $39 thousand combined potential value; its predecessor, BPA 190PRL24A0579 (running through September 30, 2025), carried 12 task orders worth $14 thousand. The vendor's combined potential value across all 58 awards totals $730 thousand, with only $80 thousand obligated to date (11% execution rate), indicating light invoicing relative to ceiling capacity. All work is performed in Washington, DC. Boren Rita has no subcontract footprint and does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs; its market position rests entirely on its standing multiple-award BPA relationships with the Bureau of Administration, which renew annually on October 1 and carry no explicit set-aside or priority designation.
