Through various prime federal contract awards, Obe-Wickramaratne Kamini has delivered a range of language-related services to the Department of State Bureau of Administration. These services have included general language support, as well as more specialized work such as advancing minority rights initiatives, supporting the Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalism, teaching English for knowledge programs, promoting entrepreneurship, and countering Holocaust distortion. The contract awards have been primarily in the form of firm fixed price call orders against existing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), with values ranging from $368 to $8,372. The work has been performed in Washington, D.C., with completion dates spanning from July 2022 to November 2024.
