Mkrtchyan Artem

Mkrtchyan Artem Mkrtchyan Artem Division is a sole proprietorship for-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2007. As a language services vendor, it has been awarded numerous prime federal contracts, primarily from the Department of State Bureau of Administration, to provide foreign language interpreting and translation services. The vendor supports the diplomatic agency's global operations and outreach initiatives that require communicating across different languages.

Mkrtchyan Artem has an extensive history of providing translation and interpretation services to the Department of State through firm-fixed price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) calls. Call orders awarded span a wide range of the State Department's international programs focused on education, cultural exchanges, foreign aid, climate change mitigation, refugee assistance, and strengthening democratic institutions abroad. Mkrtchyan Artem has been the prime contractor delivering language services for programs like the International Visitor Leadership Program, 21st Century Changemakers initiatives, House Democracy Partnership, competency-based education efforts in Armenia, and various virtual exchange programs. The vendor facilitates multilingual communication to advance American interests globally. No set-asides have been used on the BPA call contracts.

The Department of State's Bureau of Administration has awarded multiple blanket purchase agreements to Mkrtchyan Artem functioning as indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles to procure language services. A current BPA effective through September 2024 has a $150,000 potential value, allowing the agency to flexibly issue task orders for foreign language interpretation and translation across its diplomatic corps and global programs. Prior BPAs were also established from 2019 through 2022 with Mkrtchyan Artem named as a pre-qualified language services provider. While the vehicles permit ordering an array of services, task orders released indicate the BPAs primarily facilitated acquiring multilingual communication capabilities to bolster the State Department's international missions, engagement initiatives and administrative operations abroad through translation and interpretation services delivered by the vendor in Washington, D.C.
