Lage Maria Marta

Lage Maria Marta, a sole proprietorship based in Fresno, California, provides Portuguese translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under multiple-award blanket purchase agreements, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with a highly concentrated customer base — the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 31 of 33 identified awards and $810 thousand of $865 thousand in combined potential value across the portfolio. Work is performed in Washington, D.C. in support of the Bureau's diplomatic, environmental, operational, and foreign affairs programs. Recent awards include BPA calls issued October 1, 2025, for $6,260 (completion August 19, 2026) and $11,300 (completion August 1, 2026) in language services; a $10,202 BPA call from October 1, 2024 (completion May 2, 2025); and a $10,002 BPA call from October 1, 2023 (completion November 9, 2024). Individual task orders are typically small — ranging from under $200 to approximately $11,300 — and carry firm fixed-price structures. The vendor holds seats on four blanket purchase agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration: the current BPA 190PRL25A0271 with a $250,000 ceiling through September 30, 2026 (4 task orders, $28 thousand combined potential value); BPA 190PRL24A0271 with a $150,000 ceiling through September 30, 2025 (5 task orders, $31 thousand combined potential value); BPA 190PRL23A0271 with a $150,000 ceiling through September 30, 2024 (7 task orders, $28 thousand combined potential value); and BPA 190PRL22A0271 with a $100,000 ceiling through September 30, 2023 (prior period). The vendor also holds seats on two basic ordering agreements: SOPRLS05G4687 and SOPRLS06G4687, each carrying 3 task orders.

Award activity has declined year over year — three awards in 2021 to two in 2025 — with only two awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete in that window, combining for $18 thousand in potential value. All fifty awards fall under PSC Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. The vendor does not subcontract and reports no subsidiary prime awardees or grant recipients. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $215 thousand, representing 25% of the $865 thousand combined potential value, indicating selective order placement against available ceilings.
