Hernandez Felix

Hernandez Felix, a minority-owned, veteran-owned, Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship based in Marshall, Virginia, delivers specialized training and facilitation services to the Department of State's Foreign Service Institute exclusively as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designations across its entire federal footprint. The firm competes on merit in open bidding processes and holds no position on government-wide contract vehicles or agency IDIQs.

Hernandez Felix's capability portfolio centers entirely on Foreign Service Institute orientation and professional development training. The firm delivers State 101 orientation courses for newly hired Foreign Service officers, PE220 professional enhancement staff courses and Foreign Service writing instruction, One Team course iterations, and civil service orientation facilitation. All work is performed at FSI facilities in Arlington, Virginia, with occasional virtual facilitation. Representative recent awards include a $3,267 firm fixed-price purchase order for PN101: STATE 101 orientation training awarded February 11, 2026, a $4,224 purchase order for PE220 course delivery awarded May 7, 2024, and a $2,112 purchase order for civil service orientation training awarded February 3, 2025.

Customer concentration is extreme: 41 of 42 awards (covering 100% of combined potential value) flow from the Department of State's Foreign Service Institute, with a single $3,000 purchase order to the parent Department of State rounding out the portfolio. Hernandez Felix operates under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement, 19FS1A18A0001, which carries 8 task orders valued at $6.6 million in combined potential value. Combined potential value across all 42 awards totals $6.7 million, though only $167 thousand (3%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the short-duration, project-based nature of individual purchase orders.

Activity has grown from 3 awards in 2022 to a peak of 14 in 2024, with significant decline to 2 awards in 2025 and 1 award in 2026. The firm has maintained a continuous relationship with FSI since 2017, with multiple awards issued each year for recurring training cycles. NAICS categorization is 100% Professional and Management Development Training; PSC work splits primarily between Education/Training general courses, lectures, and other training delivery modalities. Hernandez Felix operates with no subcontractor footprint and receives no sub-awards; the entire portfolio is direct prime delivery.
