Spanos Maria

Spanos Maria, a sole proprietor based in Washington, D.C., provides translation and interpretation services to the Department of State as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no use of set-aside designations across the portfolio. All twelve awards in the recent footprint are primes; the vendor does not subcontract or operate as a sub. The work is narrowly specialized — all awards fall under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services and PSC Support-Administrative: Translation And Interpreting.

The customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of State, specifically the Bureau of Administration, which accounts for nine awards with $652 thousand combined potential value. Three additional awards to the broader Department of State total $3 thousand in combined potential value. This concentration reflects a narrow, sustained vendor relationship with a single customer office rather than a diversified federal footprint.

Spanos Maria holds a series of Blanket Purchase Agreements with the State Department Bureau of Administration. The current vehicle is BPA 190PRL25A0954, awarded October 1, 2024, with a $250 thousand ceiling and ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. Prior BPAs include a $150 thousand vehicle (190PRL23A0954, October 2023 through September 2024) and an earlier $150 thousand BPA (190PRL22A0954, October 2022 through September 2023). Task orders issued against these vehicles include a $1.2 thousand call for language services (October 2025, due August 15, 2026), two $824 calls (both October 2025, due December 11, 2025), and a $585 call (October 2022 through December 2022).

Activity has remained minimal and uneven. Two awards in 2021, two in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, and three in 2025 reflect sporadic task order issuance rather than sustained execution volume. Combined potential value across all twelve awards is only $654 thousand, with combined dollars obligated at just $4 thousand (1% of combined potential value), indicating that task orders against the BPAs are small, episodic calls rather than full drawdowns of BPA ceilings. All work is performed in Washington, D.C. The vendor operates as an individual language services provider managing direct relationships with the State Department's administrative bureau for on-demand translation and interpretation support.
