Mksquare Associates, LLC

Mksquare Associates, LLC, a woman-owned limited liability company based in Villas, New Jersey, provides language services — document translation, interpretation at meetings and events, and miscellaneous language support — exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of State through blanket purchase agreements, with no subcontracting footprint and no set-aside designations across its federal work.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of State, specifically the Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 29 of 30 awards worth $731 thousand in combined potential value, with a single $9.1 thousand call from the broader Department of State for language services awarded October 1, 2025. Mksquare operates through multiple-award BPAs with the Bureau of Administration under firm fixed-price call orders; the current active BPA (190PRL24A0344) has a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026 and has generated eight call orders worth $31 thousand combined potential value. Prior BPAs (190PRL23A0344, 190PRL22A0344, 190PRL21A0344, 190PRL19A0344, and 190PRL18A0344) carried ceilings ranging from $100 thousand to $150 thousand and ran through fiscal year 2024. Individual call orders typically range from several hundred to several thousand dollars and carry completion dates spanning one to six months. Representative work includes a $9.1 thousand language services call (October 2025–April 2026), an $8.178 thousand translation and interpretation call (October 2023–June 2024), and a $7.856 thousand translation and interpretation call (October–December 2023).

Activity has shown volatility. Awards peaked at eight in 2022 and nine in 2023, then declined sharply to one award in 2024 and one in 2025, despite the Bureau of Administration's renewal of Mksquare's BPA in October 2024. Combined potential value across all thirty awards totals $740 thousand, with only $90 thousand (12% of ceiling) obligated to date, indicating either early-stage performance or draw-down risk on existing agreements. All work is performed in Washington, D.C., and the vendor competes full-and-open with no socioeconomic set-asides. Mksquare's entire federal footprint is rooted in language access procurement for State Department operations.
