Maria Soto Casar

Maria Soto Casar, a woman-owned, minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Arlington, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, and specialized reporting services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements. All 84 awards in the source are prime BPA task orders; the vendor competes in full and open (no set-aside) procurements and has held no subcontract positions.

The vendor's customer concentration is singular. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 77 awards with $996 thousand combined potential value (92% of the portfolio by count and 100% by dollar concentration across the recent award window). An additional 7 awards from the Department of State carry $4 thousand combined potential value. Work focuses on translation, interpretation, and specialized reporting to support diplomatic operations, international workshops, community engagement events, and Bureau programs; performance occurs in Washington, D.C.

Maria Soto Casar holds positions on five sequential annual or multi-year Blanket Purchase Agreements issued by the Bureau of Administration, with the most recent awarded on October 1, 2024, carrying a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026. The vendor has issued 31 task orders under the current BPA (190PRL25A1589) worth $68 thousand combined potential value; prior-year vehicles saw 22 task orders (FY2024: $71 thousand), 16 task orders (FY2023: $58 thousand), and 4 task orders (FY2022: $14 thousand). Individual task-order ceilings range from $389 to $14,260, reflecting the on-demand nature of language-services procurement. As of the current BPA, approximately $83 thousand has been obligated against the $250 thousand ceiling, representing 33 percent utilization.

Activity has grown steadily: 5 awards in 2021 to 25 in 2024, with 7 awards already issued in 2025. All 84 awards are coded to PSC Support-Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. The vendor registered in SAM in March 2017 and has maintained continuous BPA presence with the Bureau of Administration since fiscal year 2022. No subcontract work is recorded. The vendor's award footprint is narrow—confined to a single customer agency and a single service line—and characterized by high-frequency, small-dollar task orders under a stable, multi-year vehicle structure.
