Krizi Ridha

Krizi Ridha, a sole proprietor and minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in College Park, Maryland, delivers foreign language translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements issued without set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively in the translation and interpretation services space (PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting; NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services) and competes in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside categories, despite holding minority-owned and small disadvantaged business certifications.

The vendor's entire active federal footprint (38 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value) is concentrated with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 36 awards worth $1.1 million. All work is performed in Washington, DC and consists of BPA calls for ad hoc translation and interpretation deliverables. Representative recent work includes an October 2025 BPA call valued at $11,160 for language services running through October 31, 2026; an October 2024 BPA call for $16,300; and a $13,731 call from October 2023. The vendor holds multiple successive blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration: a current $250,000 BPA (effective through September 30, 2025), a prior $150,000 BPA that expired September 30, 2024, and a $150,000 BPA that expired September 30, 2023. Task orders issued against these vehicles run as firm fixed-price contracts with completion dates ranging from weeks to months after award.

Krizi Ridha's activity has declined materially. The vendor received ten awards in 2022, six in 2021, five in 2023, three in 2024, and one award in 2025—a downward trajectory across the period. Only one award ($11,160 in potential value) is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure but also a sparse forward pipeline. The vendor has obligated $446 thousand against $1.1 million in combined potential value across all awards (41% utilization), suggesting a gap between ceiling values on BPA vehicles and actual task order activity. Krizi Ridha operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and holds no parent IDIQ, GWAC, or agency-wide vehicle positions—all work flows through Department of State BPAs.
