Tadros, Tony

Tadros, Tony, doing business as Tadros Translation, is a minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Franklin, Tennessee, that provides document translation, interpretation services, website localization, and presentation adaptation across Arabic, French, and Spanish to the Department of State as a prime contractor competing on full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation.

Tadros Translation operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) under four successive multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with the Department of State's Bureau of Administration. The vendor's entire footprint centers on a single customer: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 147 of 151 awards and $1.2 million combined potential value, with the remaining three awards and $3 thousand value split between the Department of State and the Department of State Office of Language Services. All work is performed in Washington, D.C., with linguistic support targeted at Middle East and North Africa regions supporting U.S. diplomatic and humanitarian operations.

The vendor's work is granular and task-order intensive rather than large-dollar. Individual call orders under the BPA vehicles range from $55 to $150,000, with most calls falling in the $200–$5,000 range. Representative work includes translation of country profiles, invitation letters, PowerPoint briefs, and fact sheets; interpretation for meetings and training events; and localization of websites and training materials. A $150,000 call order issued in October 2022 represents the largest single award in the recent portfolio; most other call orders cluster below $3,000 each.

The vendor holds positions on five successive annual BPA vehicles: the October 2024–September 2025 BPA (190PRL24A0006, $250,000 ceiling, 40 task orders, $41 thousand combined value); the October 2023–September 2024 BPA (190PRL23A0006, $150,000 ceiling, 40 task orders, $189 thousand combined value); the October 2022–September 2023 BPA (190PRL22A0006, $150,000 ceiling, 34 task orders, $47 thousand combined value); the October 2021–September 2022 BPA (190PRL21A0006, $10,000 ceiling, 11 task orders, $13 thousand combined value); and the October 2025–September 2026 BPA (190PRL25A0006, 12 task orders, $11 thousand combined value). The firm has maintained continuous re-competition and re-award on these vehicles since October 2021, demonstrating consistent ability to win renewal each fiscal year.

Activity volume has been flat and recently declined. Awards per year remained steady at 40–41 annually from 2021 through 2023, dropped to 10 in 2024, and stands at 3 in 2025 year-to-date through October. This decline likely reflects the vendor's limited ceiling authority under the current FY 2025 BPA and the phase-out of prior-year vehicles. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.2 million; combined dollars obligated stand at $482 thousand (41% of potential value), indicating frequent under-utilization of awarded ceiling values across call orders.

Tadros Translation has no subcontract footprint and does not hold position on any government-wide acquisition contracts, agency-wide IDIQs, or GSA Schedules. The vendor's entire federal presence is anchored to the State Department Bureau of Administration's annual language services BPA cycle. As a sole proprietorship competing on open-competition basis without SBA set-aside protection, the vendor faces direct price and past-performance competition on each BPA re-bid and each task order call. The business model depends on continuous re-competition on the same vehicle and narrow customer concentration.
