Hansen Lynnea B

Hansen Lynnea B, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, provides translation, interpretation, language training, and cultural advising services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements. The vendor holds self-certified small disadvantaged business status and competes in the full-and-open market without set-aside designation, despite its eligibility as a woman-owned small business.

Hansen Lynnea B operates exclusively with a single customer: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 15 of 16 awards (98% of combined potential value, $831 thousand) and the Department of State for one award ($16 thousand). The vendor holds a position on five Department of State Bureau of Administration multiple-award BPAs, with the most recent vehicle (BPA 190PRL25A0148) carrying a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026. Task orders against these BPAs have been renewed annually since at least 2022, with ceiling values increasing from $150 thousand to $250 thousand by Fiscal Year 2025, suggesting stable demand and relationship depth. Representative recent work includes a $15.5 thousand language services BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 with performance at Washington, DC through August 1, 2026, a $14.328 thousand firm fixed-price call awarded October 1, 2024 for the same scope, and a $585 call awarded October 1, 2022 for language services completed by December 16, 2022.

Activity has remained modest and flat — one award in 2021, three in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025 — with total combined potential value of $847 thousand across sixteen awards. However, actual obligations total only $172 thousand (20% of potential value), reflecting the discretionary nature of task orders issued against the multiple-award BPA vehicles. All work is performed in Washington, DC, and the vendor has not subcontracted on any federal work in the source data; all 16 awards reflect prime contractor position. NAICS categorization is uniform across the portfolio: 16 awards under Translation and Interpretation Services, with PSC coding to Support-Administrative (Translation and Interpreting).

Hansen Lynnea B's federal footprint is narrow and highly specialized — a single-customer language services provider to State Department diplomacy and operations with stable but low-dollar presence on renewal BPAs. The vendor does not hold government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, or seats on multi-agency contract platforms, and operates entirely within the translation and interpretation services domain.
