Machado Rosemary S

Machado Rosemary S, a sole proprietor based in Indian Head Park, Illinois, delivers translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract or sub-recipient activity. She is certified as a minority-owned business (Hispanic American-owned) and woman-owned business, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations across all federal awards.

Machado has built a concentrated customer footprint within a single federal agency. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 181 awards (93% of her recent award count) with $734 thousand in combined potential value, while the Department of State proper holds 13 awards valued at $3 thousand. All work flows through blanket purchase agreements for language services. Her three primary vehicles are BPA 190PRL23A0757 (92 task orders, $27 thousand combined value), BPA 190PRL22A0757 (42 task orders, $10 thousand), and BPA 190PRL24A0757 (27 task orders, $7 thousand), with two additional vehicles from prior years. Recent representative work includes a $903 language services call awarded October 1, 2025 with completion by September 16, 2026; a $516 language services call also from October 1, 2025 (completion December 19, 2025); and a $1,102.75 language services BPA call from October 1, 2024 (completion March 28, 2025). The October 1, 2024 award marked the beginning of a new $250,000 ceiling BPA running through September 30, 2026, replacing the prior $150,000 BPA vehicle that expired September 30, 2024.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor recorded 44 awards in 2021, peaked at 93 in 2022, then declined to 21 in 2023, 19 in 2024, and 13 in 2025. Combined potential value across all 194 awards stands at $737 thousand, with only $87 thousand actually obligated (12% of ceiling). Most individual task orders are micro-transactional, ranging from $55 to $220, with occasional larger calls such as the $1,886 counter-illicit-finance project and $2,044 combined BPA call from 2022. Machado competes exclusively in the Translation and Interpretation Services NAICS category (PSC code Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting) under full-and-open procurement with no federal set-aside protection, making her reliant on her established position within the State Department's language services vehicle ecosystem for continuation.
