Shaaya Michael

Shaaya Michael, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Marietta, Georgia, operates as a prime contractor delivering translation, interpretation, and language services exclusively to the Department of State's Bureau of Administration on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis.

Shaaya Michael's customer footprint is entirely concentrated: the Bureau of Administration accounts for 46 of 48 awards ($904 thousand combined potential value), with two additional awards from the Department of State proper totaling $18 thousand, for a combined portfolio of $922 thousand across all federal awards. The vendor holds five active and recently renewed BPAs with the Bureau of Administration, each structured as multiple-award vehicles: BPA 190PRL25A0169 ($250 thousand ceiling, through September 2026) with 10 active task orders; BPA 190PRL24A0169 ($150 thousand ceiling, through September 2024) with 8 task orders; BPA 190PRL23A0169 ($150 thousand ceiling, through September 2023) with 6 task orders; BPA 190PRL22A0169 ($150 thousand ceiling, through September 2022) with 6 task orders; and BPA 190PRL21A0169 ($100 thousand ceiling, through September 2021) with 3 task orders. All work is performed in Washington, D.C.

The capability portfolio rests entirely on language services. Representative task orders include a $12.7 thousand October 2024 call covering translation, interpretation, and consulting on cultural heritage preservation, disability rights, strategic communications, women's leadership in foreign policy, and youth leadership development; a $10.46 thousand October 2025 BPA call for language services through August 2026; and a $9.154 thousand October 2023 call for translation and interpretation support. The vendor has received small consulting and advisory task orders on specialized topics — women's leadership in foreign policy ($6.482 thousand), disability rights and equal access ($8.744 thousand), combating disinformation ($582), and cultural heritage preservation ($9.875 thousand) — all anchored to language and cross-cultural advisory capacity rather than standalone consulting.

Activity has remained steady at seven to nine awards per year from 2021 through 2024, dropping to two awards in 2025 year-to-date. Real obligated dollars total $272 thousand (30% of combined potential value), signaling that many task orders carry modest ceiling values but are not fully expended against contract period. The recompete cliff is minimal: only one award ($10 thousand) completes in the next twenty-four months, with the primary risk concentrated in the October 2026 expiration of BPA 190PRL25A0169, which holds ten active task orders. Shaaya Michael does not subcontract; all work is performed as prime.
