Yumi Schweizer

Yumi Schweizer, a sole proprietorship based in Goleta, California and Herndon, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, transcription, and localization services exclusively to the Department of State's Bureau of Administration as a prime contractor under multiple-award blanket purchase agreements. The vendor competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across all recent awards.

Schweizer's customer concentration is absolute: 100 percent of awards and dollars flow from a single customer agency — the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which issued 65 of 70 total awards (combined potential value $1.1 million). The Department of State's main office placed an additional five awards ($16 thousand combined potential value). Work is performed in Washington, D.C. in support of the Bureau's diplomatic operations and foreign affairs programs. All work is direct delivery by the sole proprietor with no subcontractors identified.

Capability scope is narrow and deep. Schweizer specializes in written translation, oral interpretation, transcription, and localization services between English and multiple other languages. Representative work includes a $22,248 BPA call awarded October 1, 2024 (completion November 2, 2025) for language services supporting diplomatic operations, a $17,600 call (completion August 23, 2025) for similar services, and a $150,000 single BPA vehicle awarded October 1, 2022 (completion June 8, 2023) that funded multiple task orders. The vendor holds a current $250,000 multiple-award BPA (YUMI KLIONSKY-SCHWEIZER LSA) running through September 30, 2026, under which 28 task orders carry $153 thousand in combined potential value. Prior BPAs valued at $150,000 each ran in fiscal 2023 and 2024, showing incremental growth in annual contract ceilings.

Activity trajectory has grown substantially — from one award in 2020 to 24 awards in 2024 — with a slowdown in 2025 (5 awards year-to-date as of July 15, 2026). Within the next twenty-four months, the vendor faces expiration of the $250,000 BPA (September 30, 2026) that anchors recent work; recompete opportunity for the BPA renewal is the dominant competitive signal for this customer footprint. Schweizer's vehicle holdings span four prior BPA iterations (190PRL18A0522 through 190PRL25A0522), each serving as the contracting mechanism for issuing call task orders. The 190PRL25A0522 BPA (current) carries 28 task orders; the 190PRL24A0522 vehicle (prior year) supported 21 task orders; the 190PRL23A0522 vehicle carried 11 task orders valued at $201 thousand. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $402 thousand, representing 37 percent utilization of combined potential value, suggesting the vendor is drawing on these BPA vehicles steadily but not at maximum capacity.

Schweizer's footprint is exceptionally concentrated: all 70 awards fall under PSC code Support-Administrative Translation and Interpreting, and all 70 awards are NAICS 541930 classified (Translation and Interpretation Services). The vendor operates as a specialty linguistic-services provider with no other capability lines or customer diversification. Recent award activity shows individual BPA calls ranging from $800 to $22,248, with firm fixed-price structures and performance periods typically spanning one to six months per call. The vendor has maintained a continuous contracting relationship with the Bureau of Administration since at least 2008, according to source narratives, with SAM registration dating to that year.
