Moorhead, Kent A

Moorhead, Kent A provides translation, interpretation, and foreign language support services to the Department of State Bureau of Administration as a sole proprietor operating exclusively under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designations across a 19-year prime award footprint spanning since 2006.

Moorhead operates as a sole proprietorship based in Washington, D.C. (with registered address in Oxford, Mississippi), competing entirely through multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with the State Department's Bureau of Administration. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused: translation and interpretation services, foreign language support, and related linguistic services for diplomatic operations, public outreach, and cultural exchange programs. Recent work includes a $9,100 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 (ultimate completion March 21, 2026) for language services; an $8,700 call from October 1, 2024 (completion October 11, 2025); and an $8,623 call from the same award date (completion May 3, 2025). Moorhead also delivered language support under a $7,900 call for the Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalists (awarded October 1, 2021, completed November 5, 2022).

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 27 of 28 awards (85% of the award count, $831 thousand of $851 thousand combined potential value). This single customer relationship defines the vendor's entire federal footprint. Moorhead holds four active blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau: a $250,000 BPA awarded October 1, 2024 (term through September 30, 2026) with two task orders issued to date totaling $17,323; a $150,000 BPA from October 1, 2023 (expired September 30, 2024); a $150,000 BPA from October 1, 2022 (expired September 30, 2023); and a $100,000 BPA from October 1, 2021 (expired September 30, 2022) supporting the Murrow Program. Individual call orders under these vehicles typically range from $316 to $8,700, awarded firm fixed price with performance in Washington, D.C.

Activity has remained modest and variable — two awards in 2021, four in 2022, five in 2023, four in 2024, and one in 2025 — with combined potential value of $851 thousand across 33 total awards. Of that total, only $201 thousand (24%) has been obligated, reflecting the nature of indefinite delivery vehicles where ceiling values exceed drawdown. Moorhead operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes entirely through full-and-open processes with no minority, small business, or other socioeconomic set-aside designations claimed or awarded across its prime portfolio.
