Chari Voss

Chari Voss, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Washington, DC, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under multiple-award blanket purchase agreements, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since 2003 and operates exclusively as a language services provider under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services and PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting.

The vendor's customer footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of State. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 12 awards with $553 thousand in combined potential value, while the broader Department of State apparatus holds 4 awards valued at $14 thousand combined. This 100% concentration reflects a specialized, single-agency customer base—a departure from the multi-agency diversification typical of federal contractors. The vendor operates under two primary BPA vehicles: a current multiple-award BPA with a $250 thousand ceiling running through September 30, 2026 (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0846, 7 task orders, $31 thousand combined potential value) and a predecessor BPA with a $150 thousand ceiling that expired September 30, 2023 (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL19A0846, 1 task order, $23 thousand). Recent representative work includes a $8,680 BPA call awarded October 1, 2024, completing November 26, 2025; a $6,200 call awarded October 1, 2025, completing April 18, 2026; and a $4,776 call from October 1, 2024, completing September 23, 2025.

Activity has remained modest but consistent across the past five years—one award each in 2020 and 2021, two in 2022, four in 2024, and four in 2025. The vendor holds 16 prime awards across two customer entities with combined potential value of $567 thousand, though only $67 thousand (12%) has been obligated to date, indicating task-order-based, as-needed procurement patterns characteristic of federal language services BPAs. All work is performed in Washington, DC. The vendor operates no subcontract relationships and has not pursued or held government-wide acquisition contracts or broader multi-agency vehicles; its entire footprint rests on the State Department's language services BPA framework.
