Meadows Maria

Meadows Maria, a minority-owned and woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Fairfax, Virginia, delivers translation, interpretation, transcription, and digitization services to the Department of State as a prime contractor operating exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) BPA calls. The firm holds no subcontract relationships in the source data and has won 181 prime awards since 2016, all as task orders against State Department language-services blanket purchase agreements.

Meadows Maria's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated with a single customer. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 172 awards (95% of the total) with $906 thousand combined potential value, while the broader Department of State generated nine additional awards valued at $6 thousand—delivering 100% concentration across the State Department. The customer concentration is not a tension between volume and dollars; both rankings reflect the same dominant relationship.

The firm's work runs through five sequential BPAs, each issued October 1st and carrying a one-year performance period. The current vehicle, Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0236 (awarded October 1, 2024, ceiling $250 thousand), carries 61 task orders valued at $28 thousand to date. The preceding vehicle, 190PRL24A0236 (ceiling $250 thousand), generated 45 task orders worth $33 thousand. The 190PRL23A0236 BPA (ceiling $150 thousand) produced 33 task orders for $57 thousand; 190PRL22A0236 (ceiling $150 thousand) yielded 26 calls for $23 thousand; and 190PRL21A0236 (ceiling $100 thousand) generated three calls for $21 thousand. Individual task orders range from under $100 to the low thousands, with most delivered in Washington, D.C. Representative work includes language services calls ranging from $146 to $6,334, covering document translation, audio transcription, interpretation, and digitization in support of the State Department's diplomatic operations.

Activity has grown steadily year over year—from 29 awards in 2021 to 53 in 2024—with nine awards posted in 2025. Combined potential value across all 181 awards is $913 thousand, with $263 thousand obligated to date (29% realization). The firm competes for each task order as a full-and-open call; no set-aside designations apply across the footprint. NAICS classification and PSC coding are uniform: all 181 awards fall under translation and interpretation services (top NAICS) and Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting (top PSC).
