Sheng Wen Tang

Sheng Wen Tang, a woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Leesburg, Virginia, delivers interpretation, translation, teleconferencing, and virtual meeting support services to the Department of State as a full-and-open prime contractor across multiple-award blanket purchase agreements. The vendor competes without set-aside designations and operates exclusively within the translation and interpretation services category (NAICS 541932, PSC 7390).

Sheng Wen Tang's federal footprint consists entirely of language services work for the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for all 72 awards and $1.4 million in combined potential value across the vendor's active portfolio. The relationship is narrow but concentrated: the vendor holds a seat on five successive multiple-award BPAs issued by the Bureau (covering performance periods from October 2022 through September 2028), with individual task orders ranging from $400 to $23,200 in value and focused on interpretation, translation, and meeting support for diplomatic engagements, administrative operations, and high-ranking officials. Representative work includes a $24,308 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 (ultimate completion May 1, 2026), a $23,200 firm-fixed-price call order from October 2024 (completion January 25, 2025), and an $8,000 call from October 2024 completing March 30, 2025. The vendor also holds a small direct award from the broader Department of State for $49 thousand (five call orders) outside the Bureau of Administration structure.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 28 awards, declined to 17 in 2024, and has slowed in 2025 (five awards recorded). The vendor placed 26 task orders under BPA 190PRL24A0714 ($74 thousand combined potential value), 20 under the current BPA 190PRL25A0714 ($162 thousand combined potential value), and 13 under the prior year vehicle (BPA 190PRL23A0714, $21 thousand combined potential value). All work is performed in Washington, DC, with place-of-performance fixed across the entire portfolio. Of the combined $1.4 million potential value, only $289 thousand has been obligated (20% realization rate), reflecting the structure of indefinite-delivery contracts where ceiling values exceed actual task order placement. The vendor operates as a sole proprietor with no subcontracting footprint and no exposure beyond a single federal customer agency and bureau.
