Noor Saleem

Noor Saleem Interpretation & Translation Division, a sole proprietorship and minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Jamaica, New York, provides foreign language translation and interpretation services to the Department of State Bureau of Administration exclusively as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreement call orders, with no subcontract activity and no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The vendor operates entirely within a single customer, the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 43 of 50 total awards (90% of award count) and the full $1 million combined potential value. Noor Saleem holds positions on five successive Department of State BPA vehicles — BPA 190PRL25A0071 ($250 thousand ceiling, awarded October 2024 with six active task orders and $3 thousand combined potential value), BPA 190PRL24A0071 ($150 thousand ceiling, awarded October 2023 with seven task orders and $24 thousand combined potential value), BPA 190PRL23A0071 (eleven task orders, $52 thousand combined potential value), BPA 190PRL22A0071 (seven task orders, $39 thousand combined potential value), and BPA 190PRL21A0071 (three task orders, $3 thousand combined potential value). All work is classified under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services and PSC Support–Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. Representative awards include a $14,490 firm fixed-price call contract from October 2023 for translation and interpretation support through November 2023, a $13,455 call for language services through May 2023, and a $15,075 countering misinformation and disinformation services call from October 2022. Most individual task orders carry ceiling values under $2,000, though the most recent BPA vehicle carries a $250 thousand aggregate ceiling.

Activity has declined from 12 awards in 2022 to 6 in 2024 and 1 in 2025. Combined dollars obligated across all fifty awards total $374 thousand against $1 million in combined potential value, indicating a 37% obligation rate. The vendor does not hold any parent IDIQs, GWACs, or governmentwide vehicles; all work flows through State Department BPA call orders. Noor Saleem operates as a full-and-open competitor with no set-aside positioning despite its small disadvantaged business certification. The footprint reflects a highly specialized, single-customer vendor with narrow scope (translation and interpretation only) and execution model (BPA calls under five thousand dollars in most cases).
