Mason, Anna C

Mason, Anna C is a sole proprietor woman-owned small business based in Washington, DC, providing translation and interpretation services exclusively to the Department of State as a prime contractor under a series of multiple-award blanket purchase agreements, competing under full-and-open rather than set-aside vehicles.

Mason is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business. The vendor's entire federal footprint consists of language services work — 77 awards across two State Department customer entities, all firm fixed-price BPA calls with no subcontractors involved. All work is performed in Washington, DC in support of the Bureau of Administration's diplomatic, administrative, and foreign-leader engagement programs.

Customer concentration is complete: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 64 awards and $731 thousand in combined potential value, with the parent Department of State funding an additional 13 awards valued at $18 thousand combined, totaling $749 thousand across the source window. The vendor serves no other federal agencies. Five active or recently expired BPA vehicles anchor the work: a $250 thousand multiple-award BPA (190PRL25A0298) with 37 task orders valued at $51 thousand; a $150 thousand BPA (190PRL24A0298) with 13 task orders at $21 thousand; a $150 thousand BPA (190PRL23A0298) with 14 task orders at $29 thousand; a $150 thousand BPA (190PRL21A0298) with three task orders at $3 thousand; and a historical $35 thousand BPA (190PRL18A0298) with one remaining task order. All vehicles are multiple-award, non-set-aside arrangements under the Bureau of Administration.

Activity has grown from four awards in 2020 to a peak of 25 awards in 2024, with 13 awards issued in 2025. The vendor holds a registered SAM presence dating to 2010. Recent representative work includes a $5,768 translation and interpretation call awarded October 1, 2025 with completion September 26, 2026; a $2,472 call for October 1, 2025 through March 18, 2026; and a $3,200 call awarded October 1, 2024 through August 15, 2025. Individual task order values typically range from $300 to $7,780, reflecting small-dollar, as-needed language support draws against the larger BPA vehicles. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $199 thousand, representing 27% of the combined potential value of $749 thousand, indicating active task-order draw-down against the ceiling amounts. Prior work cited in award summaries includes translation support for the African Leaders Summit, U.S.-Morocco defense consulting, House Democracy Partnership programs, foreign leader relationship initiatives, global health assessments, and electoral process support. Mason performs all work directly without subcontractors, establishing a self-performing sole-proprietor posture with no teaming relationships or secondary vendors.
