Raad Rana

Raad Rana, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Gold Canyon, Arizona, provides language services—translation and interpretation—to the Department of State as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis across all 39 recent awards; no set-asides are applied to any work in the source data.

Raad Rana's customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 37 of 39 awards (95% of the portfolio) and the full $1.1 million in combined potential value. The remaining two awards are split between the Department of State mainline office and the Department of State Office of Language Services. The vendor holds four multiple-award BPA vehicles with the Bureau of Administration, each with a ceiling ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 and designated "RANA RAAD LSA" or variants: the October 2024 BPA runs through September 2025 with a $250,000 ceiling and has generated 7 task orders ($76,000 combined value), the October 2023 BPA ran through September 2024 with a $150,000 ceiling, the October 2022 BPA ran through September 2023 with a $150,000 ceiling and produced 6 task orders ($51,000 combined value), and the October 2021 BPA ran through September 2022 with a $100,000 ceiling and produced 9 task orders ($100,000 combined value). Recent task orders are firm fixed-price BPA calls, typically $8,000 to $15,000 each, with ultimate completion dates between four and twelve months after award. Representative work includes a $14,260 language services call from the Bureau of Administration awarded October 2025 for completion by September 2026, a $10,149 translation and interpretation call also from the Bureau awarded October 2024, and a $13,731 language services call awarded October 2024 for completion by April 2025.

Activity has been volatile year to year—eight awards in 2021, declining to four in 2024 and one in 2025. The combined potential value of $1.1 million is modest; actual obligation stands at $434,000 (40% of potential value), indicating selective drawdown against the BPA vehicles. Only one award ($14,000) faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, exposing minimal recompete cliff. The vendor's scope also includes allied professional services beyond core translation work: women's leadership training, civil and human rights advocacy, NGO management, human trafficking research, investigative journalism instruction, and rule of law advisory consulting, all delivered under the same BPA mechanism to the Bureau of Administration. All work is performed in Washington, D.C.
