Daniel Pavinee

Daniel Pavinee, a woman-owned and minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Fresno, California, provides foreign language interpreting, translation, video captioning, and research reporting services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on blanket purchase agreements, with 52 awards totaling $883 thousand in combined potential value across a five-year window; work is performed in Washington, D.C.

The Department of State Bureau of Administration is the sole meaningful customer, accounting for 51 of 52 awards (100% of combined potential value at $882 thousand). Daniel Pavinee holds a standing portfolio of four overlapping, multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration, each renewed annually on October 1. The most recent IDV, awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026; predecessor agreements carried ceilings of $150 thousand (2023–2024 and 2022–2023 periods) and $100 thousand (2021–2022 period). Task orders issued against these vehicles range widely in value, from $50 to $23 thousand, reflecting discrete requests for translation, interpretation, country profiles, video captioning, and regional research projects. Representative recent work includes a $1,791 language services call on October 1, 2024 (completion December 6, 2024), an $8,411 translation and interpretation call issued the same date (completion July 23, 2025), and a $1,213.89 language services call awarded October 1, 2025 (completion March 11, 2026). Earlier work centered on Thailand and Mekong region initiatives, including a $15,848 effort supporting survivors of sexual assault in Thailand (2021–2022), a $15,848 best-practices knowledge transfer project with Thai counterparts (2021–2022), and an $8,490 Mekong study for Thai journalists (2021–2022).

Activity peaked in 2022 (16 awards) and has declined since, with 14 awards in 2023, 4 in 2024, and 1 through October 2025. Combined dollars obligated total $233 thousand (26% of potential value), indicating that a significant share of ceiling value remains unexercised across the portfolio. The four active blanket purchase agreements with staggered completion dates create a recompete cycle: the 2023–2024 BPA (ultimate completion September 30, 2024) and 2024–2025 BPA (completion September 30, 2025) have completed or are completing, while the 2025–2026 BPA carries forward to September 2026. No subcontract work, no IDV prime holdings outside the Bureau of Administration BPAs, and no grant participation appear in the source data. The vendor's footprint is narrowly concentrated in on-demand language services for U.S. diplomatic operations, with no federal customer diversity or parent vehicle diversification beyond the State Department Bureau of Administration relationship.
