Sara Adkins-Blanch

Sara Adkins-Blanch, a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Arlington, Virginia, provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on open-market Blanket Purchase Agreements, with no set-aside designations and no subcontract activity.

The vendor operates exclusively within PSC R599 (Support — Administrative: Translation and Interpreting) across all 62 recent awards. Sara Adkins-Blanch holds two BPA vehicles with the Department of State Bureau of Administration: a $250 thousand multiple-award BPA awarded October 1, 2024, running through September 30, 2026, and a predecessor $150 thousand BPA that ran through September 30, 2024. Work is performed in Washington, DC. Task orders issued under both vehicles are firm fixed-price calls ranging from $55 to $1,971.98 in ceiling value, with completion dates distributed throughout each contract period. Representative work includes 28 task orders placed under the current BPA between October 2024 and September 2025, covering translation, interpretation, and linguistic support services on as-needed basis. The Bureau of Administration has issued 17 task orders under the prior-year BPA, collectively valued at $10 thousand against the $150 thousand ceiling.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Bureau of Administration accounts for 48 awards and $421 thousand of the combined potential value across all 62 awards (77 awards and 98% of dollars), with the broader Department of State placing 14 awards worth $6 thousand. Recent activity shows growth from 18 awards in 2023 to 30 in 2024, with 14 awards issued year-to-date in 2025. Combined potential value across all awards is $427 thousand, against which only $27 thousand (6% of ceiling) has been obligated to date — indicating light utilization across a portfolio of small, task-order-driven language-services calls. No awards are scheduled to complete in the next twelve months; the recompete cliff shows task order completions distributed throughout 2025 and into 2026, with the underlying $250 thousand IDV ceiling extending through September 2026.
