Friese Timothy D

Friese Timothy D, a sole proprietor based in Chicago, Illinois, delivers language services — translation and interpretation support — exclusively to the Department of State as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements, competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates as a for-profit sole proprietorship with no subcontract footprint; all 39 awards in the source are prime work.

The Department of State Bureau of Administration dominates Friese's customer base entirely. The Bureau accounts for 35 of 39 awards (90% of the total portfolio) with $703 thousand in combined potential value, while the broader Department of State places the remaining 4 awards valued at $2 thousand. This concentration reflects a narrow, stable customer relationship anchored to a single agency sub-office. Friese holds a succession of multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration, each carrying a $100 thousand to $250 thousand ceiling. The most recent BPA, awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling and extends through September 30, 2026. Earlier vehicles include a $150 thousand BPA (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024) and a $150 thousand BPA (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023). Task orders under these BPAs are uniformly small in dollar value, ranging from $55 to $2,150 per call, with firm fixed pricing and completion dates typically within four to eight months of issuance.

Representative work includes multiple language services calls issued October 1, 2025, valued at $515, $1,200, $110, and $645, all with completion dates between February and June 2026. Earlier task orders from October 2024 included calls valued at $165 (Bureau of Administration), $1,249, $223, $2,150, and $71, with performance through December 2024 and into 2025. The portfolio also captures non-language work from 2021–2022, including a $3,610 call for Brazilian Beef Indus batch delivery, $2,440 for a second batch, $1,415 for a third batch, $1,419 for Qatar hazardous waste services, and $75 for anti-trafficking law support work in South America—all issued October 1, 2021, under an earlier $100 thousand BPA.

Activity has been episodic over the past five years: six awards in 2021, ten in 2022, six in 2023, six in 2024, and four in the first three quarters of 2025. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $705 thousand, with only $55 thousand obligated to date (8% of potential), reflecting the call-driven, as-needed nature of the BPA relationship. All performance takes place in Washington, D.C., and no recompete cliff or vehicle turnover risk is apparent from the source data—the vendor's relationship with the Bureau appears structured as rolling annual renewals of the same LSA BPA vehicle.
