Mcdonald, Hyunju

Mcdonald, Hyunju, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Barboursville, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, and language assessment services to the Department of State as a prime contractor through blanket purchase agreements, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The vendor operates entirely as a prime on language services work, with zero subcontract volume. All 45 awards in the source data span the Department of State, concentrated at the Bureau of Administration (42 awards, $833 thousand combined potential value) with marginal additional work at the departmental level (3 awards, $42 thousand). Combined potential value across the entire footprint is $875 thousand, with $225 thousand obligated to date, indicating moderate utilization of available ceiling. Work is performed in Washington, D.C. and supports the Bureau's domestic and international diplomatic operations on an as-needed basis.

The vendor holds four active multiple-award BPAs. The most recent, awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling running through September 30, 2026 and has generated six task orders (valued collectively at approximately $37,791) issued the same day. Prior BPAs include a $150 thousand ceiling vehicle awarded October 1, 2023 (running through September 30, 2024, with 7 task orders generating $32 thousand in potential value), a $150 thousand ceiling awarded October 1, 2022 (through September 30, 2023, with 16 task orders totaling approximately $150 thousand), and a smaller $34 thousand single task order under an older BPA from 2018. Task order structure is uniform: firm fixed price, typically two to eight-week performance windows, Washington, D.C. delivery. Representative work includes a $20,800 call for language services (October 2024), a $19,776 call (October 2025), and a $18,800 call (October 2023), with many calls in the $1,000 to $6,400 range.

Activity pattern shows concentration in 2022 (16 awards) with subsequent decline to 7 awards annually in 2023 and 2024. The first three awards in the source data appear in October 2022, suggesting either a vendor entry point to federal work or a data-collection threshold. The vendor competes entirely full-and-open (no set-aside), competing directly against other language service providers in an unrestricted procurement posture. All work is direct performance; no subcontractors are identified across the award history. The vendor's capability portfolio is monolithic: PSC support-administrative (translation and interpreting) accounts for 100% of categorized awards, with NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services) similarly concentrated. The Bureau of Administration's sustained awards across five fiscal years and increasing BPA ceilings (from $150 thousand in fiscal 2023 to $250 thousand in fiscal 2025) signal recurring customer confidence in the vendor's language capabilities and administrative responsiveness.
