Colla Silvia R

Colla Silvia R, a sole proprietorship based in McLean, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, coding, and consulting services to the Department of State as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in full-and-open (no set-aside) procurements through blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates across three Department of State entities—the Bureau of Administration, the main Department of State, and the Office of Language Services—but is concentrated almost entirely under the Bureau of Administration's language services BPAs.

The vendor's footprint is highly specialized and granular. Since 2016, Colla Silvia R has received 204 prime awards, all classified under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services (PSC Support—Administrative: Translation And Interpreting), with a combined potential value of $1.1 million. The Bureau of Administration accounts for 192 awards (94% of volume) totaling $1 million in potential value; the remaining 12 awards are split between the main State Department and the Office of Language Services. Over the past five years, activity has remained steady to slightly declining—peaking at 52 awards in 2023 before dropping to 41 in 2024 and 11 in 2025 year-to-date. Dollar obligated across all awards stands at $403 thousand (38% of combined potential value), reflecting the small per-task-order ceiling typical of recurring language service calls.

Colla Silvia R's entire portfolio routes through five renewal cycles of the same Department of State Bureau of Administration BPA vehicle (190PRL series, annual term structure). The most active is the current-year BPA 190PRL25A0072, which carries a $250 thousand ceiling and runs through September 30, 2026; 51 task orders have been issued since October 1, 2024 with combined potential value of $28 thousand. The prior fiscal-year vehicle 190PRL24A0072 (ceiling $250 thousand, September 30, 2025 expiration) generated 51 task orders worth $40 thousand. The FY 2023 BPA (190PRL23A0072) closed with 47 task orders worth $81 thousand. This repeating pattern—roughly 40 to 52 task orders per annual BPA, ranging from $67 to $4,686 per call, all firm fixed-price—has held steady since at least 2021. The vendor's work spans language services for bilateral meetings, demarches, training materials, human rights monitoring, regional migration briefings, trade agreement support (CAFTA-DR, MPEP programs), and geospatial analysis deliverables tied to State Department diplomatic and administrative functions. All work is performed in Washington, D.C.

The vendor has no subcontract footprint and no parent vehicle seats outside the Bureau of Administration BPA structure. Because the BPA cycles annually on October 1 and the source shows 11 awards in 2025 with the most recent dated October 1, 2025, the upcoming FY 2026 BPA recompete is already underway; prior-cycle vehicles expire September 30 of their respective years, creating annual recompete exposure. The vendor's entire addressable market is the State Department Bureau of Administration language services requirement—a narrow, recurring, and highly commoditized procurement stream with minimal differentiation and likely routine re-award absent performance failure.
