Fanary, Raad N.

Fanary, Raad N., a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Annandale, Virginia, provides professional foreign language translation, interpretation, and linguistic support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements without set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint, delivering specialized language services across the full range of State Department diplomatic, consular, and international affairs operations.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 61 of 64 total awards (95% by count) and $1.2 million of the $1.3 million combined potential value. Two additional awards from the broader Department of State and one from the Department of Justice bring the total customer base to three agencies, with the Bureau of Administration effectively anchoring the entire commercial relationship. The vendor's historical footprint extends back to 2007 according to award descriptions, with fourteen consecutive years of documented federal contract activity through October 2025.

Fanary sits on four successive Department of State Bureau of Administration BPA vehicles issued on an annual renewal cycle: the most recent carries a $250,000 ceiling (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025) with eight task orders worth $96 thousand already placed; the prior-year vehicle held a $150,000 ceiling (October 1, 2023–September 30, 2024) with fourteen task orders totaling $210 thousand; the 2022 vehicle carried $150,000 with eleven task orders valued at $63 thousand; and the 2021 vehicle held a $100,000 ceiling with fifteen task orders worth $67 thousand. Fanary also holds a single Basic Ordering Agreement with the Department of Justice (SOPRLS12G6287) carrying two task orders valued at $16 thousand combined. All work is performed in Washington, DC, on a firm fixed-price basis.

Recent activity shows contraction. Awards peaked at 16 in 2023 and 15 in 2022, declined to 7 in 2024, and have slowed to 2 awards year-to-date in 2025. The vendor faces minimal recompete exposure — only one award (combined potential value $16 thousand) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months. Task-order magnitudes range from under $700 to a high of $149 thousand, with the majority clustering between $1,500 and $15,500 per call. The portfolio spans diplomatic initiatives, embassy and consular operations, international youth engagement, human rights law, food security, counterterrorism coordination, and journalist exchanges. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $460 thousand, representing 37% of the $1.3 million combined potential value ceiling.
