Buzack, Zilda Interpreter

Buzack, Zilda Interpreter is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Hoboken, New Jersey that provides Portuguese interpretation and translation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on Blanket Purchase Agreement task orders, exclusively on a full-and-open (unrestricted) basis with no set-aside designation across its entire portfolio.

The vendor's federal footprint is tightly concentrated and narrow in scope. All 25 awards in the source data are prime BPA calls issued by the Department of State Bureau of Administration for language services, with a combined potential value of $874 thousand and only $178 thousand in combined obligated dollars (20% of potential). Activity has been sporadic: three awards in 2020, six in 2022, three in 2023, five in 2024, and one in 2025. The vendor holds a NAICS classification of 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC category Support–Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. Performance takes place in Washington, DC.

Buzack operates exclusively under Department of State Bureau of Administration Blanket Purchase Agreements with vehicle ceilings ranging from $150 thousand to $250 thousand and carrying multiple-award designations. The vendor's largest recent vehicle is BPA 190PRL25A0369, awarded October 1, 2024, with a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026; five task orders placed against it carry $32 thousand combined potential value. The prior vehicle, BPA 190PRL23A0369 (October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, with $150 thousand ceiling), generated five task orders worth $167 thousand combined potential. Individual task orders range from $585 to $151 thousand; representative work includes a $7,761 firm fixed price task order for Portuguese interpretation and translation services (ultimate completion December 11, 2024), a $6,640 task order for language services (ultimate completion April 12, 2026), and a $151 thousand task order (ultimate completion August 18, 2023).

The vendor faces no recompete cliff from the source data because all recent task orders have completed or are completing imminently; however, the October 1, 2024 BPA vehicle itself runs through September 30, 2026, meaning the ordering relationship itself extends into that window. The vendor neither holds a federal contract vehicle, subcontracts to primes, nor receives grants; all revenue is derived from State Department BPA task orders as a prime contractor.
