Shikama Yoji

Shikama Yoji is a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small disadvantaged business registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since December 2015, located in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. The company primarily operates as a sole proprietorship providing language services to federal government agencies, with a specialization in translation and interpretation capabilities. While limited additional background information is available from the provided contract records, the firm has consistently demonstrated expertise in multilingual support for diplomatic and administrative operations.

The federal contract awards indicate that Shikama Yoji exclusively provides language services, predominantly to the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The contract awards range from small-scale translation tasks to more complex diplomatic communication support, including services like introducing diplomatic notes, supporting China-Taiwan follow-up communications, and providing language assistance for various program management initiatives. All of the company's awards have been firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call contracts, with no specific set-aside designations. The contract values have varied significantly, ranging from as low as $55 to as high as $2,475, consistently focused on language-related support for government operations in Washington, D.C.

Shikama Yoji has been awarded multiple Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. These BPAs have progressively increased in potential ceiling value, from $0 in the 2020-2021 period to $250,000 for the most recent contract vehicle running through September 2025. The BPAs are multiple-award contracts that allow the Bureau of Administration to efficiently acquire translation and interpretation services through issued task orders. Each successive BPA has maintained a similar structure, enabling the Department of State to leverage Shikama Yoji's language services on an as-needed basis, with task orders typically ranging from $60 to $770, supporting various diplomatic, communications, and operational needs.
