Hakobyan Sona

Hakobyan Sona is a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Oradell, New Jersey, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since January 2020, with registration valid through July 2025. The company specializes in providing media and journalism services, specifically focusing on Armenian-language content generation and reporting. While limited information is available about the company's broader background, its federal contract history reveals a consistent engagement with the Voice of America (VOA) as a key client, delivering specialized media services related to Armenian news and diaspora reporting.

Through its federal contract awards, Hakobyan Sona has been consistently providing Armenian stringer services to the U.S. Agency for Global Media's Voice of America. These services primarily involve on-the-ground reporting, content generation, and journalistic support for VOA's Armenian Service news programming. The contract awards, ranging from $18,000 to $25,500, have been firm fixed-price call orders issued against a blanket purchase agreement. No set-aside designations have been applied to these awards, meaning they were open to both small and large businesses. The work performed includes domestic and international reporting, with a specific focus on creating content that supports VOA's mission of sharing independent news about Armenia and the Armenian diaspora.

Hakobyan Sona holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Voice of America, effective from June 2020 through May 2025. Under this BPA, the company has received multiple call orders totaling $85,500 over five years. The BPA is structured to allow VOA to efficiently procure language, reporting, and media services essential to its global programming. The agreement covers domestic stringer support for the Armenian Service, with call orders issued periodically to support ongoing media and journalism needs. The IDV allows Hakobyan Sona to provide flexible, as-needed services outlined in the BPA's statement of work, enabling VOA to leverage the company's expertise in Armenian media and language reporting to support its international news distribution efforts.
