Lambis, Victoria

Lambis, Victoria, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Germantown, Maryland, provides translation, interpretation, and linguistic expertise services to the Department of State as a prime contractor competing full-and-open with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and holds recurring BPA positions with the Department of State's Bureau of Administration, through which task orders for language support services flow on a firm fixed-price basis.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 33 of 38 awards in recent activity (90% by count, $704 thousand of $720 thousand combined potential value), with the broader Department of State adding five awards worth $16 thousand. The two rankings are identical — no tension between volume and dollar concentration — reflecting consistent small task orders across a single customer and administrative component. Over the past five years, Lambis cycled through multiple annual BPA resets with the Bureau of Administration, each carrying a $100,000 to $250,000 ceiling and seeded with eleven to four firm fixed-price calls per year ranging from $389 to $9,888 per call.

Vehicle position centers on four named Department of State Bureau of Administration BPA vehicles, each activated on October 1 of its respective fiscal year (190PRL21A0372, 190PRL23A0372, 190PRL24A0372, 190PRL25A0372). The current active BPA (190PRL25A0372, awarded October 1, 2024, ceiling $250,000, performance through September 30, 2026) has seeded ten task orders worth $23 thousand combined potential value as of the source date. Prior BPA vehicles show the same pattern: the 2023–2024 BPA (190PRL23A0372, $150,000 ceiling) generated eleven calls worth $10 thousand; the 2022–2023 vehicle (190PRL22A0372) generated eleven calls; the 2021–2022 BPA (190PRL21A0372, $100,000 ceiling) generated three calls. The vendor competes on these vehicles without leveraging women-owned small business set-aside designation — all 42 awards carry no set-aside notation despite Lambis's WOSB eligibility.

Activity has been volatile. Awards per year spiked to twelve in 2022 (the Bureau of Administration's busiest ordering year in the source), declined to five in 2023, recovered to six in 2024, and settled at five in 2025. Combined potential value across all 42 awards totals $725 thousand, but only $75 thousand (10% of potential) has been obligated to date, signaling that task-order ceilings substantially exceed actual spending or that many calls remain unfilled. No subcontract relationship appears in the source. Work is performed in Washington, DC 20037 across translation, interpretation, and administrative language support services coded to NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC H213 (Support–Administrative: Translation and Interpreting).
