Marshall Kaori

Marshall Kaori, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American-owned sole proprietorship based in Fairfax, Virginia, provides on-demand translation, interpretation, and coordination support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor competing full-and-open (100% of awards carry no set-aside designation). All fifty-six federal awards in the source span language services work performed in Washington, DC for the Department of State Bureau of Administration and the Department of State proper, funded through blanket purchase agreements with multiple award vehicles and firm fixed-price call orders.

Marshall Kaori operates exclusively under Department of State BPA vehicles, holding four active multiple award BPAs with successive annual ceiling values of $100,000 (2021–2022), $150,000 (2022–2023), $150,000 (2023–2024), and $250,000 (2024–2026). The vendor places task orders against these vehicles: the 190PRL25A0431 BPA carries fifteen task orders valued at $121 thousand combined, the 190PRL24A0431 BPA carries fourteen task orders valued at $163 thousand, and the 190PRL23A0431 BPA carries thirteen task orders valued at $84 thousand, with earlier vehicles contributing smaller volumes. Individual call ceiling values range from $412 to $34,608, with most calls falling in the $1,600–$23,200 range. Representative recent awards include a $34,608 call from October 2025 for language services (ultimate completion May 31, 2026), a $25,132 call from October 2025 (ultimate completion August 29, 2026), and a $23,200 call from October 2024 for translation and interpretation support (ultimate completion August 3, 2025). Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of State Bureau of Administration and Department of State account for 100% of awards and combined potential value of $1.1 million. Activity has been volatile year to year—five awards in 2021, climbing to sixteen in 2023, declining to nine in 2024, and six in 2025—with only one award (combined potential value $25 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. The vendor does not subcontract and carries no sub-award footprint. All fifty-six awards fall under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services (standard) and PSC Support–Administrative: Translation and Interpreting, reflecting a pure-play language services posture with no diversification across other service lines or customer agencies.
