Petipas Celine

Petipas Celine, a sole proprietorship based in Del Rey Oaks, California, provides language services, translation, and interpretation support to the Department of State as a prime contractor on a portfolio of small-dollar blanket purchase agreements and task orders with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of State. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 13 awards ($667 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of State proper accounts for 1 award ($824), representing 91% of combined potential value across all 29 prime awards. All work is classified under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services and PSC Support- Administrative: Translation And Interpreting. The vendor competes in full-and-open competition without set-aside protection.

Petipas Celine holds positions on multiple Department of State BPAs. The largest active vehicle is a multiple-award BPA (award date October 1, 2024, ceiling $250 thousand, ultimate completion September 30, 2026) under which the vendor can issue task orders up to $150 thousand for language services, advisory support, and USAID severance case support. Prior BPAs include a $150 thousand multiple-award BPA (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024) and a $150 thousand multiple-award BPA (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023). Representative work includes a $778 language services BPA call for the Department of State Bureau of Administration (October 1, 2022, performance in Washington, D.C., completion June 5, 2023), a $753 BPA call for USAID severance case support in Niger (October 1, 2022), and an $824 language services BPA call from the Department of State (October 1, 2025, completion January 15, 2026).

Activity has remained sparse and flat over the recent period: one award each in 2023, 2024, and 2025, following four awards in 2022. Combined potential value across all 29 awards is $731 thousand, but combined dollars obligated total only $81 thousand (11% of potential value), indicating that most BPA ceilings remain unexercised. The vendor has not pursued subcontracting relationships or multi-agency vehicle positions; all work originates from State Department BPA calls placed in Washington, D.C.
