Parker, Johanna

Parker, Johanna, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Richmond, California, provides foreign language translation, interpretation, and linguistic support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition on multiple BPA vehicles. All 43 prime awards in the source span the State Department's Bureau of Administration, with no subcontract work, no set-asides used, and 100% concentration on language services procured through blanket purchase agreements.

The vendor's entire customer footprint sits with a single agency. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 36 awards (91% coverage) and $940 thousand in combined potential value; the Department of State proper accounts for three additional awards totaling $26 thousand. Recent work includes a $14,832 BPA call from the Bureau of Administration for language services awarded October 1, 2025 (ultimate completion February 11, 2026), a $9,480 call awarded the same day (ultimate completion August 12, 2026), and a $1,648 call for the same scope (ultimate completion February 20, 2026). Earlier calls dating to 2022 ranged from $566 for best practices consulting in higher education to $13,731 for translation and interpretation support.

Parker sits on multiple rolling BPA vehicles with the Bureau of Administration. The current vehicle (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0154, awarded October 1, 2024, ultimate completion September 30, 2026) carries a $250,000 ceiling and has generated 11 task orders totaling $77 thousand in combined potential value. Prior BPA vehicles awarded in 2023 ($150,000 ceiling, 7 task orders, $35 thousand combined value), 2022 ($150,000 ceiling, 2 task orders, $16 thousand combined value), and 2021 ($10 thousand across 2 task orders) show a consistent relationship spanning at least five years. The vendor's single NAICS and PSC code — Translation and Interpretation Services under Support-Administrative category — describes all 43 awards without variation.

Activity trajectory shows volatility: two awards in 2021, nine in 2022, five in 2023, nine in 2024, and three in 2025 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all awards totals $977 thousand, with $327 thousand obligated (33% of the ceiling), indicating moderate utilization of available BPA capacity. No recompete cliff is acute; the current $250,000 BPA runs through September 2026, and the vendor's contract performance has driven successive BPA renewals with increasing ceilings since at least 2019, signaling stable incumbent status within the Bureau's language-services procurement model.
