Kinkle Martina

Kinkle Martina, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Washington, DC, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor operates exclusively under blanket purchase agreements issued by the State Department Bureau of Administration, competing without SBA set-aside protection across all 101 awards in the source portfolio.

Kinkle Martina's capability footprint is narrowly focused on language services — translation, interpretation, and foreign language expertise supporting State Department diplomatic, international, and administrative operations. Representative work includes a $13,731 BPA call for language services awarded October 1, 2024 with completion through June 21, 2025; a $7,164 BPA call awarded October 1, 2023 completing June 19, 2024; and a $210 BPA call from October 1, 2023 completing November 30, 2023. All work is performed in Washington, DC without subcontractors. The vendor has held consecutive multiple-award BPA vehicles with the Bureau of Administration since 2016, with ceiling values escalating from $100 thousand in the 2021–2022 period to $250 thousand for the 2024–2025 base year (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversified. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 94 awards and $1.1 million of combined potential value (100% of the portfolio). The remaining 7 awards to the Department of State proper total $17 thousand. The vendor has served only two customer agencies across nine years of activity.

Five blanket purchase agreements constitute the entire vehicle footprint. The current active vehicle, BPA 190PRL25A0065 with a $250 thousand ceiling, carries 30 task orders totaling $60 thousand in combined potential value. The prior-year vehicle, BPA 190PRL24A0065 ($150 thousand ceiling), holds 19 task orders worth $39 thousand. The 2023 vehicle, BPA 190PRL23A0065 ($150 thousand ceiling), generated 30 task orders valued at $20 thousand. A 2022 vehicle (BPA 190PRL22A0065, $150 thousand ceiling) yielded 9 task orders at $19 thousand. A legacy 2018 agreement (BPA 190PRL18A0065, $100 thousand ceiling) carries a single task order worth $109 thousand.

Activity has grown since registration in October 2016, peaking at 31 awards in 2022, then moderating to 20 in 2023 and 24 in 2024, with 7 awards to date in 2025. Combined potential value across all 101 awards stands at $1.1 million, with $469 thousand obligated (42% of potential). Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $8 thousand), reflecting minimal near-term recompete exposure; most active awards run through 2025 and into 2026.
