Pangestu Shanti

Pangestu Shanti is an Asian-Pacific American-owned sole proprietorship based in Pasadena, California, that has been registered to receive federal contract awards since August 2011. The entity specializes in providing language services, including translation and interpretation support, to federal agencies in support of their operational and administrative missions. Pangestu Shanti maintains an established contracting relationship with the U.S. Department of State and has demonstrated consistent performance in delivering language support capabilities to government customers over an extended period.

Through its federal contract awards, Pangestu Shanti has exclusively provided language services, specifically translation and interpretation assistance, to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Administration. All documented contract awards have been issued as firm fixed price blanket purchase agreement call orders with no socioeconomic set-aside designations applied. The contract values have ranged considerably, from a low of $195 to a high of $25,188 per individual call order, with performance locations consistently specified as Washington, D.C. The services delivered have supported the Bureau of Administration's mission to provide operational and administrative support to the Department of State's domestic and overseas programs and activities. Beyond translation and interpretation services, contract descriptions indicate that Pangestu Shanti has also provided virtual citizen engagement facilitation and workshop support services under its blanket purchase agreement vehicles with the agency.

Pangestu Shanti currently holds three active blanket purchase agreement indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicles with the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Administration. The most recent BPA was awarded on October 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a period of performance extending through September 30, 2026. A preceding BPA awarded on October 1, 2023, carried a $150,000 ceiling with performance through September 30, 2024, and an earlier BPA awarded on October 1, 2022, had a $150,000 ceiling extending through September 30, 2023. All three blanket purchase agreements are designated as multiple award vehicles with no set-aside requirements and have been utilized by the Bureau of Administration to issue call orders for language services on an as-needed basis. These indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicles represent the primary mechanism through which Pangestu Shanti delivers language support and facilitation services to the Department of State, enabling the agency to efficiently procure translation, interpretation, and related support services to advance its global diplomatic mission.
