Marine, Cristina

Marine, Cristina, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Alexandria, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, and language support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor, competing in full and open procurements with no set-aside designations.

Marine's entire federal footprint centers on language services delivered to the Department of State's Bureau of Administration in Washington, D.C. The vendor holds a concentrated customer base, with 49 of 59 awards (83% of awards by count) and $848 thousand of $875 thousand combined potential value flowing to the Bureau of Administration alone, alongside seven additional awards worth $27 thousand to the broader Department of State. Remaining exposure includes one award each from the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and International Trade Administration. Marine competes exclusively on full-and-open BPA calls rather than set-asides, with all 59 awards issued without set-aside designation.

The vendor sits on five successive Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Bureau of Administration, each covering a twelve-month or multi-year performance period. The active vehicles are Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0675 (awarded October 1, 2024, ceiling $250 thousand, performance through September 30, 2026), generating 13 task orders worth $67 thousand combined potential value; Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL24A0675 (awarded October 1, 2023, ceiling $150 thousand), which produced 11 task orders worth $40 thousand; Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL23A0675 (awarded October 1, 2022, ceiling $150 thousand), which supported 13 task orders worth $56 thousand; Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL22A0675, which generated 10 task orders worth $32 thousand; and Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL18A0675, which produced one task order worth $15 thousand. Task order values under these BPAs range from $71 to $9,622, with typical awards in the $6,400 to $8,300 range for translation and interpretation support. Recent task orders placed in October 2024 and October 2025 include $8,700, $8,300, $8,050, and $8,056 calls for language services with completion dates extending into 2026.

Activity has declined modestly in recent years, dropping from a fifteen-award peak in 2022 to seven awards annually in both 2024 and 2025. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Marine invoiced approximately $395 thousand against the $875 thousand combined potential value across its footprint (45% obligation rate), reflecting the nature of BPA call-order vehicles, where ceilings exceed typical utilization. The vendor's NAICS and PSC profile is homogeneous: 56 of 59 awards fall under Translation and Interpretation Services (NAICS detail not provided in source), with the remaining three coded to All Other Legal Services under Support-Professional categories.

Marine operates as a sole proprietor with no subcontractors named across its awards and no sub-award activity. The vendor's relationship with the Bureau of Administration dates to at least 2016, as referenced in historical performance summaries, and has remained functionally exclusive to that customer throughout the source data spanning 2000 through October 2025.
