Katarina Cockrell is a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business registered as a sole proprietorship with the federal government since April 2005. Operating from Washington, DC, the entity specializes in providing language services to federal agencies, with a particular focus on translation, interpretation, and related administrative support for international programs and diplomatic initiatives.

Katarina Cockrell's federal contract award history demonstrates consistent engagement with the Department of State Bureau of Administration for language services spanning from October 2022 through the present. The entity has received five discrete BPA call awards ranging in value from $208 to $10,170, with completion dates extending through August 2025. These awards have been structured as firm fixed-price BPA calls with no set-aside designations applied. The language services provided have historically included translation of program materials such as consent forms and documentation, interpretation support for international exchange programs including the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), simulation support for leadership briefings, and workshop facilitation. All contract awards have been performed in Washington, DC, and no subcontracting relationships or prime awardee arrangements have been documented in the available record.

Katarina Cockrell currently holds three multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration for language services and administrative support. The most recent BPA was awarded on October 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending through September 30, 2026, representing the contractor's largest contracting vehicle to date. A prior BPA awarded October 1, 2023, carried a $150,000 ceiling with performance through September 30, 2024, and an earlier agreement from October 1, 2022, also held a $150,000 ceiling with performance through September 30, 2023. These IDVs are structured as indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts that allow the Bureau of Administration to issue task orders on an as-needed basis for language services, translations, interpretations, training delivery, and advisory support services to further the Department's international affairs mission. The multiple-award structure across all three BPA vehicles demonstrates the Bureau's continued confidence in Cockrell's capacity to deliver professional language services and administrative solutions in support of diplomatic and international exchange initiatives.
