Sheikh Nabeel S

Sheikh Nabeel S, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business and Subcontinent Asian American-owned sole proprietorship based in Columbia, Maryland, provides translation, interpretation, and language support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations.

Sheikh Nabeel S operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards), holding a concentrated customer base entirely within the Department of State—the Bureau of Administration accounts for 50 of 51 awards totaling $1.1 million in combined potential value, with a single $16.3 thousand language-services call from the broader Department of State (awarded October 1, 2025, completing August 1, 2026). The vendor's capability footprint centers on language services, grounded in repeated firm-fixed-price BPA calls for translation, interpretation, and communication assistance supporting the Department's diplomatic missions and global programs. Representative work includes a $14.9 thousand language-services call under the October 2024 BPA through the Bureau of Administration (completion August 16, 2025), a $13.6 thousand contract for building capacity of social media experts working to create a safe and responsible digital space (March 2022), and a $12.5 thousand contract supporting civil society building (October 2021). Beyond language work, the vendor has delivered professional services under the same BPA vehicles including youth engagement with NGOs and civic organizations, museum management, public-private partnership support, and federal and local government services—all performed in Washington, D.C.

Sheikh Nabeel S maintains positions on five active BPA vehicles issued by the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The current vehicle (BPA 190PRL25A0106, $250 thousand ceiling, effective through September 2026) carries eight task orders valued at $79 thousand. The immediately preceding vehicle (BPA 190PRL24A0106, $250 thousand ceiling, covering through September 2025) had ten orders totaling $56 thousand. Two earlier vehicles (BPA 190PRL23A0106 with $79 thousand across eleven orders, and BPA 190PRL22A0106 with $63 thousand across seven orders) completed or near completion. This rolling BPA renewal pattern—approximately annual, each carrying a $100–$250 thousand ceiling—represents the vendor's primary contracting instrument.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor received 13 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, and 8 in 2024, with only 1 award appearing in the 2025 snapshot. Combined dollars obligated stand at $485 thousand against a $1.1 million potential-value ceiling—43% of combined potential value. One award ($16.3 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus a recompete exposure window. The vendor operates at micro-scale: individual call orders range from $458 to $14.9 thousand, with the majority clustering between $7,000 and $13,000. No subcontract activity appears in the source. The vendor's footprint is entirely dependent on a single customer agency's willingness to renew and place task orders on successive annual or multi-year BPA vehicles; loss of the Bureau of Administration relationship eliminates all federal revenue.
