These contracts have been consistently awarded by the Department of State's Bureau of Administration, with contract values ranging from $3 to $24,840. All contract awards have been issued without specific set-aside designations, indicating the company competes in full and open competition. The contracts are predominantly firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts, highlighting Kamal Shamim's flexibility in meeting varied governmental language and professional service needs.

Kamal Shamim holds multiple Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Department of State. These BPAs have progressively increased in potential ceiling value, from $0 in fiscal year 2021 to $250,000 for the most recent agreement ending September 30, 2025. The BPAs are multiple-award vehicles specifically designed for language services, labeled as "SHAMIM KAMAL LSA" and administered by the Bureau of Administration. Under these IDVs, the company can receive task orders for language-related services, with individual call contracts ranging from a few dollars to over $24,000. The BPAs provide a structured mechanism for the Department of State to quickly procure language services supporting diplomatic operations, public diplomacy efforts, and international program management.
