Dussuel Chantal

Dussuel Chantal, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Alexandria, Virginia, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor operating exclusively under full-and-open competitive procurements without set-aside designation. The vendor competes entirely in the translation and interpretation services space (NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services, PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting) and operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.

Dussuel Chantal's federal customer base is highly concentrated. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 36 of 43 total awards and $677 thousand of $679 thousand combined potential value (99.7% of the portfolio), with the broader Department of State adding 7 awards worth $2 thousand. The vendor has worked with the federal government since at least 2016. Recent representative work includes a $1,506.48 Firm Fixed Price BPA call awarded October 1, 2024 for language services through September 30, 2025; multiple smaller BPA calls ranging from $71 to $637 awarded October 1, 2025 with completion dates between November 2025 and September 2026; and a $2,504.17 BPA call awarded October 1, 2022 for translation and interpretation services completed June 9, 2023. Work is performed in Washington, D.C. in support of the Bureau of Administration's administrative and diplomatic operations, including translation of policy documents, interpretation services, and support for human rights reporting and the Trafficking in Persons program.

Dussuel Chantal holds positions on four active Department of State Bureau of Administration multiple-award BPAs: a $250 thousand ceiling BPA (190PRL25A0654) with a performance period through September 30, 2026 that has generated 10 task orders worth $4 thousand to date; a $150 thousand ceiling BPA (190PRL24A0654) ending September 30, 2025 with 11 task orders worth $4 thousand; a $150 thousand ceiling BPA (190PRL23A0654) that ended September 30, 2024 with 7 task orders worth $6 thousand; and a $150 thousand ceiling BPA (190PRL22A0654) that ended September 30, 2023 with 6 task orders worth $9 thousand. The combined potential value across all awards ($679 thousand) substantially exceeds obligated dollars ($29 thousand, or 4% of potential value), indicating the vendor's award ceiling exceeds typical utilization in recent activity. Activity has been uneven — ranging from 4 awards in 2024 to 12 in 2023 — with 7 awards placed in 2025 year-to-date.
