Hanna Alethea

Hanna Alethea, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Santa Rosa, California, provides translation, interpretation, and specialized language services across over 200 languages to the Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on blanket purchase agreements and related task orders; it does not subcontract and carries no sub-award footprint.

Hanna Alethea's customer concentration is extreme and narrow: 23 of 35 recent awards (69% of award count) and $785 thousand of $856 thousand combined potential value (93% of total) flow from the Department of State Bureau of Administration. A single additional award from the Department of State accounts for the remaining $16 thousand. All work is performed in Washington, D.C. in direct support of the State Department's diplomatic, international exchange, and outreach initiatives. The vendor has held multiple BPA contracts with the Bureau of Administration since 2006, indicating a sustained, long-standing relationship anchored to language services procurement.

Hanna Alethea's work is categorized entirely under NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. Recent representative contracts include $13,731 and $15,500 BPA calls awarded in October 2024 and October 2025 respectively for translation and interpretation support, each carrying performance periods of several months. The vendor holds three distinct BPA vehicles: a $150 thousand BPA (ultimate completion September 2023), a $150 thousand BPA (ultimate completion September 2024), and a $250 thousand BPA (ultimate completion September 2026). Task orders are issued against these BPAs on an as-needed basis in firm fixed-price format.

Activity is minimal and flat: three awards in 2021, four in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2025. Combined potential value across all 35 awards is $856 thousand, with only $206 thousand (24% of potential) obligated to date — a signal of small call sizes and modest utilization against BPA ceilings. One award with combined potential value of $16 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The vendor's footprint reflects a specialized, single-agency language services capability with stable but low-velocity utilization and no leverage on government-wide contract vehicles or multi-agency platforms.
