Klug Carl M

Klug Carl M, a sole proprietorship based in Carson City, Nevada, provides translation, interpretation, and localization services to the Department of State as a prime contractor, competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its entire federal portfolio.

The vendor's customer concentration is total — 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value flow from the Department of State, with 29 of 31 awards placed by the Bureau of Administration and 2 by the parent Department of State entity. The Bureau of Administration has issued four successive multiple-award blanket purchase agreements to Klug Carl M, each running roughly one year and cycling annually each October 1st: a $100,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2021 (5 task orders, $23.3 thousand combined value); a $150,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2022 (6 task orders, $168 thousand combined value); a $150,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2023 (5 task orders, $40 thousand combined value); and a $250,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2024 (5 task orders, $36 thousand combined value, extending through September 2026). All work is performed in Washington, DC on firm fixed-price calls. Representative language services work includes a $149,684 BPA call from October 1, 2022 for language support through August 2023, a $7,406 BPA call from October 1, 2023, and two BPA calls from October 1, 2025 valued at $5,976 and $9,100 respectively, supporting translation, interpretation, and localization across the agency's global operations and diplomatic initiatives such as the Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalists and the US-ASEAN SMART Cities Partners initiative.

Activity has contracted year over year — seven awards in 2022, declining to two in 2025 — reflecting the annual BPA recompete cycle. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $9 thousand). The vendor has obligated $168 thousand of $963 thousand combined potential value across all awards (17%), indicating modest drawdown against the standing BPAs. Klug Carl M operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, and holds no position on government-wide vehicles, GSA Schedules, or multi-agency IDIQs — the vendor's federal presence is anchored entirely to the State Department's rotating language-services BPA vehicle.
