Heide M Crossley

Heide M Crossley, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Falls Church, Virginia, provides foreign language interpretation, translation, multilingual training, and linguistic analysis services to the Department of State as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-asides. The vendor operates across the PSC Support–Administrative (Translation and Interpreting) category and has been registered in SAM since 2006.

Crossley's customer footprint is highly concentrated: 96% of combined potential value across 54 awards derives from the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which has issued 41 BPA call contracts since 2019. The vendor competes entirely under the Bureau's rolling blanket purchase agreement vehicle, which allows the agency to compete short-term, specialized language requirements among pre-qualified providers. Task orders issued against these BPAs range from several hundred dollars to approximately $9,400 and cover diverse diplomatic initiatives including global public health challenges, countering disinformation, strengthening foreign government capacity, economic cooperation, hydrogen energy transition, internet governance, and Holocaust education. All work is performed in Washington, D.C. on firm fixed-price terms.

The Bureau of Administration currently maintains four active BPA vehicles with Crossley: a $250,000 multiple-award BPA running through September 30, 2026 (awarded October 1, 2024); a $150,000 BPA that completed September 30, 2024; a $150,000 BPA that completed September 30, 2023; and a $100,000 BPA that completed September 30, 2022. Recent representative work includes two BPA calls awarded October 1, 2025, valued at $8,300 and $8,436, and three calls awarded October 1, 2024, valued at $8,300, $5,474, and $8,700. Activity declined from 10 awards in 2022 to 6 in 2024 and 2 in 2025, with 11 awards (combined potential value $56 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months. The vendor has no subcontract footprint; all 54 awards are prime contracts issued as individual task orders under the State Department BPAs. Of the $947 thousand in combined potential value across the award portfolio, $297 thousand has been obligated and invoiced, representing 31% utilization.
