Mello Regina

Mello Regina is a sole proprietorship entity registered in the System for Award Management as a minority-owned, woman-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business concern based in Washington, D.C. The company provides translation and interpretation services under federal contract awards issued by the Department of State.

Over the past several years, Mello Regina has been awarded a series of firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreement call contracts by the Department of State Bureau of Administration to supply language services. The awards have ranged in value from a few hundred dollars to over $12,000, and all were performed without set-asides or major subcontractors. Mello Regina served as the prime contractor delivering translation and interpretation support to assist the Bureau of Administration in managing operations and infrastructure related to foreign affairs and diplomatic relations. Work was concentrated in Washington, D.C. with periods of performance spanning a few weeks to several months based on evolving program needs.

Mello Regina currently holds multiple award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration to provide indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity language services. The BPA vehicles allow the Bureau to issue call orders for translation and interpretation assistance as requirements emerge across the agency's global missions and facilities. This includes an active $150,000 BPA from 2022 with call awards for supportive services covering a range of foreign languages. Another $100,000 BPA from 2021 enabled access to management analysis, program evaluation, and organizational planning activities related to international programs. The agreements supply the Department of State with a flexible contracting approach to fulfill staffing needs while achieving core objectives for diplomatic engagement and foreign policy development initiatives worldwide.
