Cordova, Miguel

Cordova, Miguel, a sole proprietor operating as a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business from Garrett Park, Maryland, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor entirely through blanket purchase agreement task orders, competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's portfolio consists exclusively of language services delivered to the Department of State Bureau of Administration — translation, interpretation, and linguistic support for administrative operations and international exchange programs — across 63 awards spanning from 2004 through the most recent three task orders awarded in October 2025. Combined potential value across all awards reaches $739 thousand, though only $89 thousand (12% of potential) has been obligated to date, indicating the vendor holds active BPA positions but realizes relatively low execution rates. The work is performed in Washington, D.C. Representative named awards include a $620 language-services BPA call for the Bureau of Administration with an ultimate completion date of April 22, 2026 (October 2025 award); a $597 language-services BPA call with completion through February 19, 2026 (October 2025 award); and a $1,698 blanket purchase agreement call for an International Leadership Workshop – Global Ties (October 2021 award). The vendor has held consecutive annual BPA positions under the Department of State Bureau of Administration's vehicle: a $100 thousand BPA ceiling awarded October 1, 2021 for performance through September 30, 2022; a $150 thousand BPA ceiling awarded October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023; a $150 thousand BPA ceiling awarded October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024; and a $250 thousand BPA ceiling awarded October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 53 awards (89% of award count and 97% of combined potential value at $712 thousand), with the remaining three awards coming from the Department of State's parent organization at minimal value. The vendor places all work through five blanket purchase agreements held with the Bureau of Administration, with Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL22A0350 generating 16 task orders ($10 thousand combined potential value), BPA 190PRL25A0350 generating 14 task orders ($8 thousand), BPA 190PRL23A0350 generating 13 task orders ($7 thousand), BPA 190PRL24A0350 generating 4 task orders ($2 thousand), and Basic Ordering Agreement SOPRLS08G3500 generating 2 task orders ($12 thousand). Activity has been volatile: 17 awards in 2021, 14 in 2022, declining to 5 in 2023, recovering to 12 in 2024, and dropping to 3 awards year-to-date in 2025. The vendor holds no position as a subcontractor and maintains no teaming relationships; all work is direct-prime delivery. The primary NAICS code is translation and interpretation services (491512 equivalent), and all 63 awards are coded under PSC support – administrative: translation and interpreting.
