Dalia Elsoudani

Dalia Elsoudani is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship operating as a language services prime contractor exclusively for the Department of State, competing without set-asides in the full-and-open market. Headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, the firm delivers translation, interpretation, cultural advisory, and training services through blanket purchase agreement task orders issued by the State Department's Bureau of Administration, with all work performed in Washington, D.C.

The vendor's federal footprint is highly concentrated and specialized. All 58 prime awards across the past five years flow from the Department of State's Bureau of Administration (53 awards, $808 thousand combined potential value) and a small set of Department of State standalone awards (5 awards, $2 thousand), with 100% coverage in the vendor-award-portfolio customer ranking. The top four parent BPAs dominate ordering activity: Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL23A1826 (15 task orders, $46 thousand), 190PRL24A1826 (15 task orders, $40 thousand), 190PRL25A1826 (13 task orders, $43 thousand), and 190PRL22A1826 (10 task orders, $31 thousand). The vendor currently holds a multiple-award BPA effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, with a $250 thousand ceiling, under which eight task orders totaling approximately $40 thousand have been issued as of October 2024. The combined potential value across all 58 awards stands at $811 thousand, with $161 thousand obligated to date (20% utilization).

Award activity peaked in 2022 at seventeen awards before declining to five in 2025, signaling a contracting trajectory. Individual task orders range from $82 to $15,575 in ceiling value, all firm fixed price and issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Representative recent awards include a $728 BPA call from the State Department (October 2025, completion March 2026), a $620 BPA call (October 2025, completion July 2026), and a $15,575 BPA call (October 2024, completion August 2025). Historical awards from 2023 show similar patterns, with $14,181, $3,678, and $1,712 BPA calls for translation, interpretation, and cultural advisory services. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, and all work is classified under NAICS translation and interpretation services and PSC administrative support for translation and interpreting.

The vendor's customer concentration on a single federal agency and sub-office creates both retention stability and recompete vulnerability. The firm has maintained continuous engagement with the State Department's Bureau of Administration since SAM registration in March 2020, with annual BPA vehicles demonstrating sustained agency reliance on its language capabilities. However, the declining awards trajectory (2022: 17 awards to 2025: 5) and the modest dollar ceilings and obligation rates suggest the vendor competes for task orders at the low end of the procurement spectrum, with task order values typically under $5 thousand. No sub-award activity appears in the source, indicating the vendor performs all work directly as a sole proprietor.
