Semiti-Magembe, Tina

Semiti-Magembe, Tina, a sole proprietor based in Silver Spring, Maryland, provides language interpretation, translation, and foreign language instruction services to the Department of State on a prime-contractor basis through blanket purchase agreements, competing on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

The vendor operates as a for-profit sole proprietorship specializing in translation and interpretation services (NAICS 611630, PSC H42 — Support Administrative: Translation and Interpreting). All 67 recent federal awards are prime BPA calls carrying no socioeconomic set-asides. The vendor has served exclusively the Department of State, with 58 awards directed to the Bureau of Administration and 9 awards to Department of State (combined potential value $1.1 million). Recent representative work includes a $6,776 language services call awarded October 1, 2025 by the Department of State with ultimate completion November 21, 2026; a $9,855 call for translation and interpretation support awarded October 1, 2025 with completion July 11, 2026; and a $9,750 call for language services awarded October 8, 2024 by the Bureau of Administration with completion October 8, 2024. Alongside core language services, the vendor has also delivered discrete advisory work — a $9,450 call for women's empowerment programming and an $8,216 call for rule-of-law advisory support, both October 2022.

The vendor sits on five active BPA vehicles with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The largest pipeline runs through BPA 190PRL25A0606 (October 2024 through September 2026, $250,000 ceiling), under which 17 task orders have been placed carrying $85 thousand combined potential value. The prior-year BPA 190PRL24A0606 (October 2023 through September 2024, $150,000 ceiling) generated 15 task orders valued at $59 thousand. The FY2023 and FY2022 vehicles (190PRL23A0606 and 190PRL22A0606) carried $150,000 and estimated $100,000 ceilings respectively, each supporting 13 and 10 task orders. Task orders are structured as firm-fixed-price calls ranging from sub-$200 line items to calls in the $9,000–$9,700 range, with work performed in Washington, DC.

Activity has remained steady at 9–16 awards per year over the past five years, with combined obligated dollars at $307 thousand against $1.1 million combined potential value (28% utilization rate). Only 2 awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $13 thousand, indicating low near-term recompete exposure. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime on State Department language and advisory services, has no subcontract footprint, and holds no seats on government-wide vehicles outside the State Department BPA family.
