Lomtatidze Mariam

Lomtatidze Mariam, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Los Angeles, California, provides translation, interpretation, localization, and subject matter expertise to the Department of State as a prime contractor across a portfolio of 54 BPA call orders. The vendor competes full-and-open, without set-aside designations, and operates exclusively within language services and administrative support (PSC: Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting; NAICS: 541930, Translation and Interpretation Services). All 54 awards and the combined potential value of approximately $1 million are concentrated within a single customer agency: the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 53 awards at $1 million and a subsidiary Department of State award at $6 thousand. The vendor holds four active BPAs with the Bureau of Administration with ceilings of $250,000 (October 2024–September 2026), $150,000 (October 2023–September 2024), $150,000 (October 2022–September 2023), and $100,000 (October 2021–September 2022), under which it has received firm-fixed-price task orders ranging from $597 to $14,381 per call.

Call orders span policy domains including language services proper (the bulk of awards) and specialized consulting on cybersecurity, energy transition, human rights investigation, women in politics and civil society, inclusive societies, science and technology entrepreneurship, and U.S.-Portugal space cooperation. Representative awards include a $14,381 call from October 2024 for language services and subject matter expertise; an $8,050 call from October 2024 for foreign language services supporting global operations; a $13,905 call from October 2022 for translation and interpretation; and a $15,166 call from October 2021 for advisory services on the role of natural gas in energy transition. All work performs in Washington, D.C., and ultimate completion dates have tracked through September 2025, with one award (awarded October 2025) extending to May 2026.

Activity peaked at 12 awards in 2022 and has since moderated to 11 (2023), 9 (2024), and 1 (2025 year-to-date as of the source snapshot). The combined potential value across the 54 awards is approximately $1 million, with $384 thousand obligated (37% of potential value), reflecting the small per-task-order magnitude and the vendor's limited prime footprint. The vendor holds no subcontract positions and receives no government-wide vehicle assignments outside the State Department's localized BPA structure. Concentrated dependence on a single agency customer and the moderation in annual award count since 2022 present material pipeline and customer-diversification risk; the vendor's path to growth or resilience depends on expanded use across State Department offices or entry into other civilian agency language-services procurement.
