Htay Khin Maung

Htay Khin Maung is a minority-owned sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov as a small business. This Washington D.C.-based vendor provides foreign language translation, interpretation, and other professional language services to U.S. federal agencies under government contracts and agreements.

Htay Khin Maung has received numerous firm fixed price call contracts as the prime contractor from the Department of State Bureau of Administration to provide language support services. These contracts have ranged in value from a few hundred dollars to over $15,000. The services typically involve translating documents or providing interpretation for various State Department programs related to human rights, international religious freedom, visitor exchanges, women's empowerment initiatives, and more. No set-asides have been designated for these linguist service awards, which are issued against pre-existing blanket purchase agreements (BPAs). Other than the State Department, no other federal agencies were identified as funding sources.

Htay Khin Maung currently holds two active, multiple-award BPA vehicles with the Department of State Bureau of Administration to provide language services like translation, interpretation, and language profiling. The first BPA, awarded in 2023 with a $150,000 ceiling value running through 2024, facilitates the acquisition of ad hoc domestic and overseas language support for State Department operations worldwide. Two initial task orders worth over $15,000 have already been issued under this agreement for work in Washington D.C. Another open BPA awarded in 2022 with the same $150,000 maximum value was the source for over a dozen contracted linguist service call orders ranging from $143 to $15,075 each to assist with human rights reporting, international visitor programs, religious freedom initiatives and other Department of State missions through 2023. Prior BPAs dating back to 2020 also enabled the State Department to centrally acquire foreign language capabilities across a variety of programs and information products.
