Valbin Corporation

Valbin Corporation, doing business as Valbin Corp, is a woman-owned small business based in Bethesda, Maryland that delivers translation, interpretation, and linguistic services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 96% of its recent awards, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The vendor holds a dominant position on the Executive Office of the President's $4 million single-award BPA for translation and interpretation services supporting the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and sits on a newly awarded $4 billion Multiple Award IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command's Seaport Next Generation program as of January 2025.

Valbin's customer concentration is extreme and dollar-weighted heavily toward defense-intelligence work. The top five funding agencies account for 100% of combined potential value: the Department of the Army Intelligence and Security Command anchors the portfolio with 23 awards carrying $19.59 billion in combined potential value (82% of all dollars), followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command with 4 awards of $4 billion, the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation with 5 awards of $100 million, the Department of State Foreign Service Institute with 22 awards of $17.1 million, and the Department of Homeland Security US Secret Service with 8 awards of $10.8 million. By award count, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative leads with 25 awards totaling $2.9 million, but this represents less than one percent of total potential value — the ranking gap signals that USTR issues numerous small translation task orders while Army Intelligence holds multi-billion-dollar vehicle ceilings. Valbin competes across 41 distinct customer agencies.

Valbin's primary capability is translation and interpretation services, grounded in 131 of its 163 total awards. Representative work includes a $710 thousand Firm Fixed Price BPA call awarded by USTR on April 3, 2026 for translation and interpretation services (completed April 2, 2027), a $215 thousand BPA call from USTR in April 2025 for international trade compliance and labor agreement monitoring support, a $719 thousand Firm Fixed Price delivery order from the Department of Homeland Security Secret Service in March 2022 for role player services using labor-hour pricing, and a $53 thousand delivery order from Naval Education and Training Command in December 2023 for interpretation and translation services at a major conference requiring security clearance. Secondary capability areas include professional and management development training (23 awards) and engineering services (7 awards), though these represent a small fraction of the vendor's footprint. The source identifies Valbin as "a leading language service provider to the government and private sector dedicated to delivering superior linguistic, cultural services."

Valbin's vehicle position centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (66 task orders, $129 million combined potential value), the Executive Office of the President single-award BPA 11316021A0010EOP (19 task orders, $1.7 million), the Army's Indefinite Delivery Contract W911W412D0001 (18 task orders, $27 million), the State Department's BPA SFSIAQ14A4004 (12 task orders, $15.7 million), and the State Department's BPA OASVALA1601 (14 task orders, $1.3 million). The newly awarded Seaport-NxG $4 billion IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2025) carries a minimum-guarantee task order of $500 dated March 6, 2025.

Activity volume has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years — six awards in 2022, seven in 2023, five in 2024, and six in 2025 — though the January 2025 Seaport-NxG award fundamentally shifted the vendor's potential-value profile from a single-digit-million-dollar operation to a multi-billion-dollar vehicle holder. Only one award ($710 thousand) reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure; the bulk of Valbin's potential value sits on long-duration IDIQs and BPAs extending well beyond 2027.

Service Contract Inventory data captures $880 thousand in invoiced revenue across 13.8 FTEs in FY2022 (the only fiscal year with reportable SCI activity in the source); FY2023 shows zero reportable invoicing and FY2024 shows zero invoiced amount despite 26.1 FTEs appearing on two prime and three sub records, indicating work performed but below the SCI reporting threshold or through non-reportable mechanisms. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable services ran around $31.59 per hour median, with the 10th percentile at $29.98 and 90th percentile at $33.20. SCI data shows zero sub-hours share across prime contracts in the reported periods, indicating Valbin builds its own delivery teams on captive-labor contracts rather than relying on subcontractors; however, as a subcontractor, Valbin appears on work for Booz Allen Hamilton (Emergent Threat Training and Readiness Capability programs and Service Solutions for Modernization Analysis Readiness projects from 2023–2025) and Battelle Memorial Institute (TSL Certification Test Support Services in January 2024), suggesting the vendor operates as a feeder to larger defense primes for language and training support while maintaining independent prime positions on civilian translation work.
