Olena Simon

Olena Simon is a sole proprietorship doing business as Olena Simon Unterricht, registered in SAM.gov as a for-profit organization to receive federal awards. The entity provides Russian-Ukrainian language instruction services to the U.S. government.

Olena Simon has been awarded numerous firm fixed price calls against a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) held with the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) for Russian-Ukrainian language instruction services. These call orders, ranging in value from $8,673 to $65,124, require Olena Simon to deliver language training and enhancement courses in Germany to support DSCA's security cooperation programs and foreign military sales efforts. The orders facilitate the building of international defense partnerships and language proficiency for DSCA's mission. No set-asides were specified for the task orders issued to the sole proprietor.

In November 2019, DSCA awarded Olena Simon Unterricht a $250,000 single-award BPA for Russian-Ukrainian Language Instruction Services. The BPA, with no set-aside designation and an ordering period through December 2023, enables DSCA to procure Russian-Ukrainian language training from Olena Simon as the prime contractor. The agency has issued firm fixed price calls against this vehicle, valued between approximately $8,000 to $65,000 each, for Olena Simon to provide specialized language instruction courses delivered in Germany. The services acquired through the BPA support DSCA's mission of facilitating security cooperation programs and foreign military sales by building language capabilities with international partners.
