Hand Nancy

Hand Nancy (operating as Nancy Hand Division), a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Tucson, Arizona, provides translation, interpretation, and global communications support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open BPA call contracts. The vendor competes exclusively through multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with no set-aside designations, delivering all seventy-five awards to a single customer — the Department of State Bureau of Administration — across task orders valued typically between $600 and $14,000.

Hand Nancy's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on on-demand language services for federal diplomatic and administrative communications. Representative recent work includes a $4,120 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025, with ultimate completion September 18, 2026, for translation and interpretation support; a $9,008 call awarded October 1, 2024, for language services through May 29, 2025; and a $13,731 call awarded October 1, 2023, for translation and interpretation in support of Department of State programs including the International Women of Courage initiative, election oversight, and disabilities rights events. All work is performed in Washington, D.C., and the vendor operates without subcontractor partnerships, delivering services directly as the prime contractor.

The vendor's customer base is monolithic. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for sixty-six awards (ninety-eight percent of total awards) with $892 thousand in combined potential value, while the broader Department of State accounts for nine additional awards ($15 thousand combined potential value). All seventy-five awards are categorized under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services with PSC Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting.

Hand Nancy holds position on five successive multiple-award blanket purchase agreement vehicles with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, structured as rolling annual or biennial indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. The largest active vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0189 (twenty-seven task orders, $50 thousand combined potential value) running through September 30, 2026; the prior-year vehicle, BPA 190PRL24A0189 (twenty task orders, $44 thousand combined potential value), ran through September 30, 2025. Historical vehicles BPA 190PRL23A0189 ($11 thousand), BPA 190PRL22A0189 ($14 thousand), and BPA 190PRL21A0189 ($57 thousand) delivered smaller volumes. Each annual BPA ceiling ranges between $150,000 and $250,000, and the vendor has maintained continuous renewal since at least 2021.

Activity has grown year over year — five awards in 2021 to nineteen in 2024 — driven by the increase in bundled call contracts per BPA vehicle (the October 1, 2024 BPA alone generated sixteen simultaneous task orders). Nine awards in 2025 reflect ongoing reliance on the current BPA. The vendor faces limited recompete exposure because each BPA vehicle is deliberately structured with an annual performance period and automatic renewal opportunity; the October 1, 2025 BPA runs through September 30, 2026, but renewal decisions typically occur in advance of expiration.

Combined potential value across all seventy-five awards is $907 thousand, with $257 thousand obligated (28% draw-down). The sub-thousand ceiling values on individual task orders indicate these are low-dollar, high-frequency call orders against standing indefinite-delivery vehicles rather than large competitive procurements. The vendor has held consecutive BPA positions with the Department of State Bureau of Administration continuously since at least October 1, 2022, based on the award dates in the source, demonstrating sustained incumbent status within a narrow, specialized language-services niche serving diplomatic operations worldwide.
