Fisch, Diane

Diane Fisch, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Seattle, Washington, provides translation, interpretation, and language services to the Department of State Bureau of Administration as a prime contractor, competing under full-and-open solicitations with no set-aside designations across her entire award footprint.

Fisch's capability portfolio centers exclusively on language services. Her work includes document translation, real-time interpretation support, and related professional advisory services for the Department of State's global diplomatic and administrative operations. Representative work includes a $6,112 firm fixed-price BPA call awarded October 1, 2025, for language services with completion by May 9, 2026; a $5,480 task order call from October 1, 2024, under a $250,000 ceiling BPA running through September 2026; and a $6,270 task order from October 1, 2021, supporting the Department of State's International Women of Courage program. Fisch also delivered services related to foreign investment advisory work, youth engagement programs, and international recognition initiatives under her BPA vehicles.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 31 of 32 awards ($770 thousand of $776 thousand combined potential value), with a single additional award from the Department of State proper ($6 thousand). Fisch holds no subcontract relationships and operates solely as a prime contractor.

Fisch sits on four active Blanket Purchase Agreements issued by the Bureau of Administration, with progressively increasing ceiling values reflecting sustained agency reliance: the $100,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2021 (through September 30, 2022), the $150,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2022 (through September 30, 2023), the $150,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2023 (through September 30, 2024), and the current $250,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2024 (through September 30, 2026). Task orders under these vehicles range from $474 to $6,270 in individual ceiling value. The most recent BPA (190PRL25A0329) carries eight task orders worth $26 thousand combined potential value, followed by the prior-year BPA (190PRL24A0329) with four task orders totaling $21 thousand.

Activity has been episodic. Fisch received two awards in 2021, seven in 2022, five in 2023, and eight in 2024, with one award in 2025. Combined dollars obligated total $126 thousand against $776 thousand combined potential value, representing 16% realization. Awards have consistently completed in October 2022, October 2023, October 2024, and October 2025, reflecting a regular annual renewal cycle against the Bureau of Administration's multiple-award BPA vehicles. All work is performed in Washington, DC, under firm fixed-price terms with no identified subcontractors.
