Shaadi T Edwards

Shaadi T Edwards, a sole proprietorship and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Atlanta, Georgia, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor operating exclusively under Blanket Purchase Agreements with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a minority-owned, Black American-owned business competing on a full-and-open basis across all federal work.

Shaadi T Edwards holds a narrow, specialized capability footprint centered entirely on language services for diplomatic communications. All 22 awards in the source portfolio (100% of prime work, zero subcontract activity) are BPA calls issued by the Department of State Bureau of Administration for translation and interpretation support. Representative awards include a $8,700 BPA call awarded October 1, 2024, with completion by September 27, 2025; a $7,856 BPA call awarded October 1, 2023, with completion by November 11, 2023; and a $474 BPA call awarded October 1, 2022, with completion by December 16, 2022. Work is performed primarily in Washington, DC, supporting embassy operations and U.S. foreign policy objectives.

Customer concentration is total and non-diversified. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 20 awards (753 thousand dollars combined potential value) and the Department of State for 2 awards (13 thousand dollars), representing 100% of the vendor's award portfolio. The vendor holds three active BPA vehicles with the State Department's Bureau of Administration: a $250,000 multiple-award BPA (effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026), a $150,000 BPA (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024), and a $150,000 BPA (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023). Eight task orders sit on the current $250,000 BPA vehicle with combined potential value of $35 thousand; five task orders on the prior-year vehicle carried $39 thousand combined potential value.

Activity has trended upward from 2021 through 2024 (one award in 2021 to seven in 2024), with the first awards appearing in the source data in October 2017. Combined potential value across all awards totals $766 thousand; combined obligated dollars stand at $116 thousand (15% of potential). Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing $13 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor operates as a solo proprietor with no identified subcontractor relationships and no participation in government-wide vehicles, agency-wide IDIQs, or GWACs. All work is structured as firm fixed price BPA calls with performance in the Washington, DC area.
