Yuri Menis

Yuri Menis, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Haymarket, Virginia, provides translation and interpretation services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor through blanket purchase agreements, with all 92 awards in the source spanning the past nine years issued by the Department of State and its component agencies.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in State Department operations. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 75 awards (82% of the portfolio) with $1.1 million in combined potential value, while the U.S. Agency for Global Media's Voice of America holds 7 awards ($108 thousand combined potential value) and the parent Department of State entity holds 10 awards ($44 thousand combined potential value). The three customers together account for 100% of recent awards. Work is performed in Washington, D.C. and Haymarket, Virginia, with task orders typically ranging from $585 to $15,500 in ceiling value and performance periods lasting two to seven months. Recent representative awards include a $15,500 BPA call from the State Department Bureau of Administration for translation and interpretation services (October 2025 award), a $4,944 translation BPA call from the same bureau (October 2025), and an $11,850 translation services order from Voice of America's Eurasia Division (August 2024 award).

Yuri Menis holds active positions on five recurring Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration: a $250,000 ceiling BPA (190PRL25A0395, through September 2026) carrying 19 task orders worth $94 thousand combined potential value; a $150,000 ceiling BPA (190PRL24A0395, through September 2025) with 19 task orders at $60 thousand combined potential value; a $150,000 ceiling BPA (190PRL23A0395, through September 2024) supporting 17 task orders valued at $80 thousand combined potential value; and two prior BPAs at $150,000 ceiling each (190PRL22A0395 and 190PRL21A0395) now expired or expiring. These five vehicles account for 72 task orders across the portfolio. All work carries no set-aside designation and is awarded on a full-and-open competitive basis.

Activity peaked in 2023 at 21 awards and has declined to 10 awards in 2025 year-to-date, though the trajectory remains steady relative to pre-2022 levels. Combined potential value across all 92 awards stands at $1.2 million, with $568 thousand (47%) obligated to date. The portfolio is categorized almost entirely as Translation and Interpretation Services (NAICS), with 85 of 92 awards coded to PSC Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. Yuri Menis operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data. The vendor has maintained language services contracts with State and Voice of America continuously since 2005, according to award summaries, establishing long-standing customer relationships that anchor the recurring BPA structure.
