Ferhadi Ahmed

Ferhadi Ahmed Ferhadi Linguistic & Academic Services Division, a sole proprietorship based in New York, furnishes translation, interpretation, and linguistic analysis services to the Department of State Bureau of Administration as a prime contractor operating under blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Ferhadi Ahmed holds three consecutive multiple-award BPAs with the State Department Bureau of Administration — a $150,000 agreement awarded October 1, 2022 running through September 30, 2023; a $150,000 agreement awarded October 1, 2023 running through September 30, 2024; and a $250,000 agreement awarded October 1, 2024 running through September 30, 2026. The vendor draws 100% of its customer concentration from the Department of State, with 20 awards ($709 thousand combined potential value) through the Bureau of Administration and two awards ($5 thousand combined potential value) directly from the Department of State. All work is performed in Washington, D.C. Recent task orders include a $2,472 call for language services with ultimate completion September 23, 2026; a $2,472 call for language services with ultimate completion September 12, 2026; a $3,200 call awarded October 1, 2023 for language services with ultimate completion October 24, 2024; and earlier calls for $796, $778, and $5,045 ranging from October 2022 through July 2024.

The vendor's award portfolio spans 22 total prime contracts and BPA task orders since October 2016, concentrated entirely on translation and interpretation support (NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services; PSC Support-Administrative Translation and Interpreting). Recent activity has declined: four awards in 2021 declining to one award in 2024 and two awards in 2025. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $714 thousand, with only $64 thousand obligated to date (9% of potential value), indicating a pipeline of unexercised ceiling capacity across the active BPA vehicles. Five blanket purchase agreements (vehicles 190PRL22A0328, 190PRL23A0328, 190PRL24A0328, 190PRL25A0328, and 190PRL18A0328) have generated task orders ranging from one to three calls each.
