Mayes Minnie Battle

Mayes Minnie Battle, a woman-owned, minority-owned small business and sole proprietorship based in Jamestown, North Carolina, delivers translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements, competing under full-and-open solicitation without set-aside designations. The vendor is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and Black American owned.

Mayes Minnie Battle's federal work is entirely concentrated within a single customer. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 38 of 40 awards and $773 thousand of the combined $781 thousand potential value across the portfolio, with the remaining two awards valued at $8 thousand and attributed to the Department of State itself. The vendor has operated as a prime contractor exclusively; no subcontract work appears in the recent award history.

The vendor's capability footprint consists entirely of translation, interpretation, orientation, and language program-support services. Recent representative work includes BPA calls ranging from $390 to $6,162 in individual ceiling value, all issued by the Bureau of Administration under its standing multiple-award blanket purchase agreement vehicle for language services supporting the Department's diplomatic operations. A $250 thousand multiple-award BPA effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026 replaced the prior year's $150 thousand BPA (effective through September 30, 2024), establishing the contract vehicle for current task-order placement.

Activity has been volatile. The vendor executed eighteen awards in 2022, dropped to five in 2023, then contracted to two awards each in 2024 and 2025. Five task orders under the prior-year BPA (190PRL23A0515) carried $56 thousand combined potential value; the vendor has also worked under BPAs issued in fiscal 2018, 2022, 2024, and 2025 under the same contract numbering pattern. Combined dollars obligated across the portfolio total $131 thousand, representing 17 percent of combined potential value, indicating that the majority of awarded ceiling capacity remains unfilled. Work is performed in Washington, DC.
