Valdivia Vinka

Valdivia Vinka, doing business as Clear Communications Interpreting & Translation Services, operates as a woman-owned and minority-owned small business sole proprietorship based in San Diego, California, delivering foreign-language interpretation and translation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreement task orders and purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open; no set-asides are used across its recent prime awards, though the vendor's socioeconomic status qualifies it for women-owned small business and minority-owned business set-aside opportunities if agencies elect to use them.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 34 of 40 awards and $1.1 million of the $1.1 million combined potential value across all recent awards, effectively 100% of the vendor's documented federal footprint over the past several years. Secondary work includes four purchase orders from the Department of Justice US Attorney's Offices (totaling $1 thousand) for Spanish-language interpretation support in material witness depositions and litigation, and two awards from the Department of State proper (totaling $11 thousand) for interpretation and translation services supporting international programs. The Department of Justice work is sporadic and micro-valued; State Bureau of Administration is the sole meaningful customer.

Clear Communications operates under three successive multiple-award BPAs with the State Department Bureau of Administration. The most recent BPA (190PRL25A0388), awarded October 1, 2024, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026, with eight task orders placed to date valued at $63 thousand. The prior BPA (190PRL24A0388), October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025, carried a $150 thousand ceiling and generated four task orders worth $42 thousand. The predecessor BPA (190PRL23A0388), October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, carried a $150 thousand ceiling and was fully exercised across six task orders totaling $194 thousand. Task order ceiling values on all BPAs range from $298 to $150 thousand, with most calls between $4 thousand and $15 thousand. Work is performed in Washington, D.C., on firm fixed-price basis, supporting State Department diplomatic and international programs including disease prevention, international parental child abduction resolution, women's empowerment, LGBTI human rights advancement, and press freedom initiatives.

Activity has been steady but lightweight. The vendor received seven awards in 2021, nine in 2022, five in 2023, seven in 2024, and two through October 2025. Obligated dollars across all 40 awards total $297 thousand, or 27% of the $1.1 million combined ceiling value, indicating task orders remain partially exercised. No subcontractor activity appears in the source; all work is prime delivery.
