Kyoko Nagao Nelson

Kyoko Nagao Nelson is a sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov to provide goods and services to the federal government as a for-profit organization. Based in Washington, D.C., Nagao Nelson operates as a professional interpreter and translator, offering language services to support diplomatic activities and cross-cultural exchanges.

Through prime contract awards from the Department of State, Kyoko Nagao Nelson has delivered translation and interpretation capabilities on a task order basis. A recent firm-fixed price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call issued by the Bureau of Administration tapped Nagao Nelson to provide language services with an individual award value of $195. More broadly, Nagao Nelson holds two established multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration for language services support. Under these BPA vehicles, Nagao Nelson furnishes foreign language translation and interpretation capabilities to aid communication and outreach efforts by the agency. No set-asides were used in awarding these contracts to Nagao Nelson.

The pair of Blanket Purchase Agreements issued by the Department of State Bureau of Administration position Kyoko Nagao Nelson as an approved provider of language services through September 2023 and September 2024. Both agreements are multiple award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) BPAs worth $150,000 each. As such, Nagao Nelson competes for individual task orders issued against these master contract vehicles to procure specific translation and interpretation services aligned with the Department of State's global diplomacy mission. By being a pre-qualified BPA holder, Nagao Nelson maintains a flexible contractual channel through which language support can be efficiently acquired to facilitate activities requiring cross-cultural communication and messaging capabilities. While operating as a sole proprietor, the BPAs demonstrate Nagao Nelson's established position as an approved source to meet the Department's linguistic requirements across a range of potential task areas over the course of each agreement's base term.
