Brannigan, Zeljka

Brannigan, Zeljka is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Alexandria, Virginia, that provides translation, interpretation, and general language support services to the Department of State and international broadcasting agencies as a prime contractor exclusively on full-and-open (no set-aside) blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates entirely as a self-performing prime and has not subcontracted work; all 42 awards in the source data are prime contracts or calls against Brannigan-held BPAs.

Customer concentration is extremely high. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 98% of recent award count (19 awards, $727 thousand combined potential value), with the balance split between the US Agency for Global Media Voice of America (11 awards, $59 thousand) and the US Agency for Global Media (9 awards, $108 thousand), covering the full $909 thousand in combined potential value across all awards. The two rankings diverge slightly — USAID's Voice of America places more discrete calls than its parent agency, but the parent agency carries higher dollar value — but State dominates both volume and dollars decisively. Award concentration by contract type is even tighter: the vendor sits on five named Blanket Purchase Agreements under State and USAID vehicles, with the largest being BPA BBG50A110086 (6 task orders, $34 thousand) and BPA BBG50A120298 (3 task orders, $69 thousand). Recent representative work includes two October 2025 BPA calls from State's Bureau of Administration for language services with ceilings of $6,308 and $8,632, respectively, both completing in 2026, an October 2024 call valued at $8,050, and multiple calls in 2023 and 2022 in the $585–$8,378 range. The vendor also holds a $250 thousand BPA ceiling with State (awarded October 2024, running through September 2026) and a $150 thousand BPA ceiling (awarded October 2023, completing September 2024).

Activity is highly stable at low volume — one or four awards per year since 2021 — with only one award (combined potential value $6 thousand) facing completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete risk in the near term. Combined dollars obligated total $259 thousand (28% of combined potential value), indicating modest utilization against the BPA ceilings to date. Work is performed in Washington, DC, and scope concentrates on translation and interpretation services (21 awards under NAICS 561421) and radio network content support (15 awards related to Voice of America broadcasting operations).
