Benjawan Terlecky

Benjawan Terlecky, doing business as Thai & LAO Language Services, is a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Richmond, California, that provides Thai and Lao translation and interpretation services to the Department of State on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor, holding multiple blanket purchase agreements with the Department of State's Bureau of Administration for language services supporting diplomatic and foreign affairs operations.

The vendor's entire award footprint (26 awards, 100% coverage) concentrates with a single customer: the Department of State Bureau of Administration, which accounts for 23 awards and $623,000 in combined potential value. The Department of State (main agency) holds three additional awards valued at $12,000. Combined potential value across all awards is $635,000, with $85,000 obligated to date (13% of ceiling). Performance occurs in Washington, D.C., with work spanning Thai and Lao translation and interpretation to support the Department's global diplomatic engagement, particularly in Southeast Asian contexts.

Thai & LAO Language Services holds three active blanket purchase agreement vehicles with the Bureau of Administration. The current primary vehicle (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0704, October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026) carries a $250,000 ceiling and has generated seven task orders totaling $34,000 in combined potential value. The vendor also maintains legacy BPAs from prior years: one with a $150,000 ceiling expiring September 30, 2024 (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL24A0704, five task orders, $19,000 combined potential value) and another from fiscal 2023 (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL23A0704, six task orders, $18,000 combined potential value). Representative recent work includes three 2025 calls issued October 1, 2025, for language services valued at $2,480, $2,060, and $7,528 respectively, each with performance in Washington, D.C., and completion dates ranging from October 29, 2025, to March 28, 2026. Activity volume has been episodic: one award in 2020, seven in 2022, six in 2023, five in 2024, and three in 2025. The vendor operates exclusively under NAICS 541990 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC code Z211 (Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting), with no subcontract relationships in the federal footprint.
