Carlos Aranaga

Carlos Aranaga is a minority-owned, for-profit sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since July 2009 and headquartered in Derwood, Maryland. The entity is classified as a Hispanic American-owned business and specializes in providing language services to the federal government. As of January 2026, Carlos Aranaga's SAM.gov registration remains active and is scheduled to expire on November 14, 2026.

Carlos Aranaga has received federal contract awards exclusively from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Administration for language services. The entity was awarded two separate Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call task orders on October 1, 2024, both valued at firm fixed-price amounts totaling $16,350.00 combined. The first task order, valued at $8,050.00, is scheduled for completion by September 27, 2025, while the second task order, valued at $8,300.00, is scheduled for completion by October 25, 2025. Both awards were performed in Washington, DC and were issued without set-aside designations, indicating they were competed among all eligible vendors. These contract awards represent specific, defined language service requirements supporting the State Department's diplomatic, consular, and administrative operations through translation, interpretation, and related linguistic support services. There is no indication that Carlos Aranaga has received any subcontract awards from prime federal contractors.

Carlos Aranaga holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Administration, awarded on October 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $250,000.00 and a performance period through September 30, 2025. This multiple-award BPA carries no set-aside designations and was established to provide language services in a simplified procurement framework. The BPA allows the Bureau of Administration to issue individual task orders against the agreement to meet language service needs over the contract period. As of the current date, the two task orders issued against this BPA represent the only documented utilization of this vehicle, though additional task orders may be issued prior to the agreement's expiration.
