Elghazali Badawi Ismail

Elghazali Badawi Ismail Badawi I Elghazali Division, a Black American-owned, minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Fort Worth, Texas, provides Arabic-English translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on a 100% firm fixed-price, full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime and holds no subcontract footprint across the source data.

The vendor's entire customer base is the Department of State's Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 28 of 29 awards ($853 thousand combined potential value) and represents the vendor's sole customer concentration point. Work is performed in Washington, DC and includes translation, interpretation, and language support services for the Bureau's diplomatic, administrative, and cultural engagement missions worldwide. Capability scope spans Arabic-to-English translation, simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, and linguistic support for consular and public diplomacy programs.

The vendor holds four successive Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Bureau of Administration as parent vehicles: a $100 thousand BPA running through September 2022 (concluded); a $150 thousand BPA through September 2023 (concluded); a $150 thousand BPA through September 2024 (concluded); and an active $250 thousand BPA running through September 2026, the current vehicle. Combined, these BPAs generate task order awards aggregating roughly $863 thousand in potential value since October 2021. Recent representative work includes five task orders issued October 1, 2024 against the current $250 thousand BPA, valued at $10,500, $12,050, $9,552, $1,194, and (indirectly from the source) additional calls, with completion dates ranging from December 2024 through October 2025. Earlier cycles include four calls totaling $29 thousand in fiscal 2023 and five calls totaling $35 thousand in fiscal 2024.

Activity has remained flat to declining — four awards in 2021, six in 2022, six in 2023, five in 2024, and one recorded in 2025 through the source snapshot date. The vendor faces minimal near-term recompete pressure; only one award ($11 thousand) holds an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars are $213 thousand, representing 25 percent of the $863 thousand combined potential value across the entire portfolio, indicating task orders are not fully drawn. The vendor's entire footprint is Translation and Interpretation Services (NAICS and PSC aligned), with no diversification into adjacent federal customer agencies or capability areas.
