VO, Quynh-Nhu

VO, Quynh-Nhu, doing business as Show Only, is a sole proprietorship based in Ellicott City, Maryland, delivering translation, interpretation, content production, and linguistic assistance services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open (unrestricted) federal procurements. The vendor is minority-owned, woman-owned, and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, with no federal contract vehicle holdings of its own but a substantial footprint across Department of State Bureau of Administration blanket purchase agreements.

The entire award portfolio—135 prime awards totaling $909 thousand in combined potential value—flows from a single customer concentration: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 129 awards ($891 thousand) under its language services BPA vehicle, with six additional awards ($18 thousand) from the Department of State. All work is unset-aside, indicating competitive selection rather than set-aside utilization. VO, Quynh-Nhu competes in the full-and-open market despite its minority and woman-owned designations.

Work is performed entirely in Washington, DC under firm fixed-price BPA call orders. Representative task orders include a $14,925 language services call (October 2024, ultimate completion November 2025), a $13,731 translation and interpretation call (October 2023, ultimate completion November 2024), and a $6,613 language services call (October 2022, ultimate completion November 2023). The vendor has held multiple consecutive years of BPA awards from the Bureau of Administration since 2017, with annual ceiling values growing from $150 thousand in fiscal years 2023 and 2024 to $250 thousand in the current vehicle (October 2024 through September 2026), reflecting sustained agency reliance on its capabilities. Individual task orders range from $35 to $14,925, with most small-dollar orders in the $800 to $2,400 range.

Activity has been consistent year over year, with 19 awards in 2021 climbing to 34 in 2022 and 2023, and 37 in 2024. The vendor placed six awards in 2025 as of the source date (October 2025). The BPA vehicle awarded October 1, 2024, with a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2026, carries 42 task orders ($70 thousand combined potential value) to date. Prior years' vehicles—the 2023 BPA ($150 thousand ceiling, 33 task orders, $50 thousand combined potential) and the 2022 BPA ($150 thousand ceiling, 18 task orders, $46 thousand combined potential)—document consistent ordering patterns. The vendor's services have supported U.S.-Vietnam bilateral agreements, international legal education, COVID-19 response efforts, the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, and various conferences and policy dialogues. Combined dollars obligated to date are $259 thousand (28% of combined potential value), indicating selective utilization of available ceiling authority across task orders. The vendor does not subcontract and holds no parent contract vehicles.
