Maria Choi

Maria Choi, a woman-owned, minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Rockville, Maryland, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with no set-aside designation. All nineteen recent federal awards are language services work for the Department of State Bureau of Administration, spanning translation, interpretation, and related linguistic support performed in Washington, D.C. and nationwide at Department of State facilities.

Choi's customer footprint is entirely concentrated with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for eighteen awards with $687 thousand combined potential value. A single additional award of $832 comes from the Department of State proper, giving the Bureau of Administration 100% coverage across both award-count and potential-value rankings. Choi holds positions on four language services BPAs issued by the Bureau of Administration, with ceiling values of $250 thousand (190PRL25A0658, awarded October 1, 2024, running through September 30, 2026), $150 thousand (190PRL23A0658, awarded October 1, 2023, completed September 30, 2024), $150 thousand (190PRL22A0658, awarded October 1, 2022, completed September 30, 2023), and $9 thousand (190PRL18A0658). Against these vehicles, Choi has received five task orders from the current BPA ceiling of $250 thousand, five from the expired 2023 BPA, two from the 2024 BPA, and one from the legacy 2018 vehicle. Recent BPA calls include orders of $832 (awarded October 1, 2025, completing September 4, 2026), $364 (awarded October 1, 2024, completing December 31, 2024), $231 (awarded October 1, 2024, completing September 10, 2025), $107 (awarded October 1, 2024, completing March 6, 2025), and $82 (awarded October 1, 2024, completing July 23, 2025).

Activity declined from six awards in 2021 to one award in 2025, though the most recent award carries the highest ceiling value at $832. Combined potential value across all nineteen awards stands at $688 thousand, with only $13 thousand obligated (2% of potential value), indicating minimal invoiced activity against the BPA portfolio. Choi operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor's entire capability portfolio centers on translation and interpretation services delivered under federal administrative language services contracts, with no diversification into other service categories or customer agencies.
