Kristo Diana

Kristo Diana, doing business as Alkri Translations, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, provides foreign language translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under full and open competition, without set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime — 100% of recent awards are prime contracts and indefinite-delivery vehicles — and competes in the open market rather than under SBA socioeconomic set-asides.

Alkri Translations' federal footprint is narrow and concentrated. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 54 of 56 tracked awards (80% coverage) with combined potential value of $887 thousand, while the Department of State proper carries 2 additional awards totaling $17 thousand. Across 70 total awards spanning 2005 to October 2025, the vendor has generated $977 thousand in combined potential value, with $327 thousand obligated (33% realization). The vendor's capability portfolio is singular: foreign language translation and interpretation services, with particular emphasis on English-Albanian translation to support State Department diplomatic operations, document translation, website localization, and interpretation support performed in Washington, D.C. Representative work includes a $15,500 ceiling BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 (completion October 3, 2026), a $1,236 ceiling call also awarded October 1, 2025 (completion July 14, 2026), and a $5,970 firm fixed-price call awarded October 1, 2024 (completion October 11, 2025).

The vendor's vehicle position rests entirely on Department of State Bureau of Administration blanket purchase agreements. Five BPAs anchor the work: a $250 thousand BPA (October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026) carrying 6 task orders with $27 thousand combined value; a $150 thousand BPA (October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024) carrying 10 task orders with $41 thousand combined value; a $150 thousand BPA (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023) carrying 20 task orders with $59 thousand combined value; a $44 thousand Basic Ordering Agreement (SOPRLS06G5023) with 6 task orders; and a $15 thousand vehicle (190PRL24A0433) with 7 task orders. Awards per year declined sharply from 21 in 2022 to 5 in 2024 and 2 in 2025, signaling contraction. All 70 awards fall within PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting.
