Svitlana Budzhak-Jones

Svitlana Budzhak-Jones, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in State College, Pennsylvania, provides translation, interpretation, editing, and localization services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements, competing on an unrestricted (full-and-open) basis with no set-aside designations. The vendor is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business, operating under NAICS 541940 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC code J142 (Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting), with all work performed in Washington, D.C.

Svitlana Budzhak-Jones operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) on language services. Recent representative BPA calls include a $11,340 ceiling-value award from the Department of State for translation and interpretation services with completion by August 22, 2026, a $10,720 award for the same services, and a $4,400 call for translation and localization support. Across the portfolio, individual call orders range from $400 to $14,778, all issued as firm fixed-price contracts under multiple-award BPA vehicles.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 59 of 73 awards (81% of the portfolio) and $905 thousand of the $975 thousand combined potential value (93% of dollars), with the broader Department of State adding four additional awards totaling $25 thousand. The vendor serves no other federal agencies.

The vendor sits on three active BPAs with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The current BPA (190PRL25A1232, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026) carries a $250,000 ceiling and has generated 13 task orders to date totaling $66 thousand. The preceding BPA (190PRL24A1232, October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024) generated 20 task orders worth $101 thousand against a $150,000 ceiling. An earlier BPA (190PRL23A1232, October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023) produced 16 task orders totaling $60 thousand. Combined potential value across these three primary vehicles is $227 thousand of the $975 thousand portfolio total.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 21 awards, declined to 10 in 2024, and dropped to 4 in 2025 year-to-date. The vendor's obligated dollars ($325 thousand) represent only 33% of combined potential value, indicating unrealized ceiling capacity. No awards are scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months that would create visible recompete cliff exposure; the current BPA runs through September 2026.

The vendor has held Department of State language-services BPAs continuously since 2005, with historical call orders ranging from sub-thousand to $14,778. All work is performed in Washington, D.C., supporting the Bureau of Administration's foreign affairs and administrative operations. The vendor operates as a solo proprietor with no subcontract relationships and no sub-award footprint.
