Klaver Ellen

Klaver Ellen (Ellen Klaver Division), a woman-owned small business operating as a sole proprietorship based in Longmont, Colorado, provides language services—translation, interpretation, analysis, and specialized consulting—to the Department of State as a prime contractor. The vendor competes under full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations, despite its WOSB status.

Klaver Ellen's customer footprint is entirely concentrated with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 100% of the vendor's 22 awards over the past several years, representing $821 thousand in combined potential value across BPA calls and multiple-award blanket purchase agreements. The vendor also received one award from the parent Department of State entity valued at $9 thousand. Activity peaked in 2022 with six awards, then moderated to three awards annually in 2023 and 2024, with one award in 2025. Combined potential value across all awards reaches $830 thousand, with $180 thousand obligated to date (22% realization rate).

The vendor holds multiple blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration, all multiple-award vehicles with no set-aside designation. The active portfolio includes a $250 thousand BPA ceiling running through September 30, 2026 (awarded October 1, 2024), which consolidates prior BPA vehicles. Under this vehicle and its predecessors, Klaver Ellen has issued task orders in the $585 to $15,210 range covering translation and interpretation services, current U.S. social, economic, and political analysis, environmental resilience and protection, and non-governmental organization research. Representative recent awards include a $8,680 language services call under the current BPA (performance ending April 21, 2026), a $13,731 translation and interpretation call (September 6, 2025), and a $13,731 call for language services analysis and consulting support (November 9, 2024). Performance occurs at the Department of State's Washington, D.C. offices.

Klaver Ellen operates as a solo prime across all awards; no subcontract activity appears in the source. The vendor's category concentration is complete: all 22 awards fall under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services and PSC Support–Administrative (Translation and Interpreting). The recompete cliff shows no material exposure in the next twenty-four months given the modular BPA structure and the recent renewal of the primary vehicle through September 2026.
