Nancy C Cox

Nancy C Cox, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Washington, DC, provides translation, interpretation, and localization services to the Department of State as a prime contractor through multiple-award blanket purchase agreements, with all 107 recent awards under full-and-open competition and no set-aside designation.

Cox's customer base is heavily concentrated with a single agency. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 92 awards and $875 thousand of combined potential value — 93% of award count and 97% of combined potential value. The broader Department of State (separate from the Bureau) adds seven awards worth $23 thousand, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions holds one award for $13 thousand. Cox has maintained an exclusive contracting relationship with the State Department's Bureau of Administration since 2004, delivering linguistic support to facilitate diplomatic initiatives, foreign official meetings, international trade negotiations, and programs focused on women's empowerment and peacebuilding.

Cox operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards); no sub-award activity appears in the source. The capability portfolio is narrow and mission-focused: translation, interpretation, and localization services delivered on-site in Washington, DC under firm fixed-price BPA calls. Representative work includes a $4,944 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025, with completion by July 17, 2026; a $13,184 call from October 1, 2025, concluding March 28, 2026; and a $20,800 call awarded October 1, 2023, with completion by May 26, 2024. Individual task orders under the BPA vehicles typically carry ceilings under $10,000 and short performance periods of two to six months.

Cox holds positions on five successive multiple-award BPA vehicles issued by the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The current vehicle, BPA 190PRL25A0280 (October 2024 through September 2026, $250 thousand ceiling), carries 28 task orders totaling $78 thousand in combined potential value. The prior vehicle, BPA 190PRL24A0280 (October 2023 through September 2025, $150 thousand ceiling), generated 22 task orders worth $49 thousand; BPA 190PRL23A0280 (October 2022 through September 2024, $150 thousand ceiling) produced 26 task orders valued at $42 thousand. Older vehicles from fiscal years 2021 and 2022 generated five task orders each ($4 thousand and $12 thousand, respectively). The progression shows steady annual recompete of the underlying BPA ceiling and consistent call-order volume supporting the Bureau's standing language-services requirements.

Activity has been volatile year over year but remains active. Awards peaked in 2022 at 27, declined to 23 in 2023 and 22 in 2024, then dropped to seven in 2025 (likely incomplete year-to-date for 2025). Combined potential value across all 107 awards in the source stands at $942 thousand, with $292 thousand obligated (31% realization). Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with a potential value of $5 thousand, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure but continuous renewal risk tied to annual BPA vehicle awards each October. Cox's sub-contractor role does not appear in the federal award record; all work is performed directly by the proprietor from Washington, DC.
