Mena Language Services LLC

Mena Language Services LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, and linguistic training services to the Department of State as a prime contractor operating exclusively under full-and-open competition on blanket purchase agreement calls. The firm is structured as a limited liability company and self-certified as a woman-owned small business and small disadvantaged business; it does not hold or compete for set-aside designations across its federal work.

Mena Language Services operates entirely within a narrow federal customer base concentrated on the Department of State Bureau of Administration. All 45 awards in the source data span a single customer relationship—43 task orders against the Bureau of Administration's language services BPAs and two additional State Department awards—generating $1.1 million in combined potential value, of which $247 thousand has been obligated. The vendor's capability footprint is monolithic: translation, interpretation, and linguistic training across multiple language pairs in support of the State Department's diplomatic, public diplomacy, and international relations initiatives, including prior work on the Edward R. Murrow Program and bilateral human rights working initiatives.

Work is performed from the vendor's Washington, D.C. location. Representative task orders include a $14,925 firm fixed-price call issued October 1, 2024, with completion by October 18, 2025; a $13,905 call from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023; and a $14,181 call awarded October 1, 2023, through October 5, 2024. The vendor holds five active blanket purchase agreement vehicles with the Bureau of Administration, each carrying ceiling values ranging from $150,000 to $250,000. The most recent BPA (award date October 1, 2024) carries a $250,000 ceiling through September 30, 2026, with six calls already issued totaling approximately $30,456. Mena Language Services operates under Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL23A0313 (16 task orders, $356 thousand combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0313 (9 task orders, $74 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL24A0313 (8 task orders, $54 thousand), with two older vehicles carrying minimal remaining activity.

Award volume spiked in 2022 (17 awards) following what appears to be a vehicle reset cycle, then stabilized at eight to nine awards per year in 2023 and 2024. The vendor carries minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months—a single award worth $11 thousand facing completion inside that window. Mena Language Services holds no subcontracting relationships; 100% of its activity is prime work. The vendor's business model is transactional and task-order driven, with no indication of contract competition or pursuit beyond the State Department Bureau of Administration's established language services vehicles.
