Corinne Kalve

Corinne Kalve is a sole proprietorship based in Seattle, Washington, registered in SAM.gov and specializing in language services for federal government agencies. As a for-profit organization, Kalve provides translation and interpretation support primarily to the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Administration. The vendor is uniquely positioned as a small business contractor delivering targeted linguistic assistance to support diplomatic and administrative operations.

Through multiple federal contract awards, Corinne Kalve has consistently delivered language services across various call orders and task assignments. All contract awards have been firm fixed price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) calls focused exclusively on language services, with no specific socioeconomic set-aside designations. The contracts have ranged in value from $161 to $7,856, consistently supporting the Bureau of Administration's need for translation and interpretation support. Kalve operates as the prime contractor, performing all work directly without identified subcontractors, and has maintained a focused geographic performance area centered in Washington, D.C.

Corinne Kalve holds three significant federal contract indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. These multiple-award blanket purchase agreements have progressively increased in ceiling value, with the most recent BPA reaching $250,000 and a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The IDVs allow the Bureau to issue firm fixed price call orders for language services as needed, providing flexibility in procuring linguistic support for diplomatic and administrative activities worldwide. These contract vehicles enable the Bureau to access Kalve's language capabilities on an as-needed basis, ensuring cost-effective and responsive translation and interpretation services to support U.S. foreign policy objectives.
