Waltz Terry Thatcher

Waltz Terry Thatcher is a sole proprietorship and woman-owned small business providing language services to the federal government. The entity has specialized qualifications including self-certified small disadvantaged, economically disadvantaged woman-owned, and women-owned designations allowing pursuit of set-aside contract opportunities. Based on available data, Waltz Terry Thatcher primarily engages in providing translation and interpretation services across various languages and dialects.

The federal contract awards held by Waltz Terry Thatcher consist exclusively of call orders issued against blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) by the Department of State's Bureau of Administration. These firm fixed price BPA calls ranging from $55 to $3,325.52 cover delivery of language services to support the Department's operations based in Washington, D.C. While award descriptions provide minimal details, the services likely encompass written document translation alongside oral interpretation capabilities for diplomatic engagements and foreign affairs activities. None of the BPA calls utilized set-aside criteria based on socioeconomic designations. Several appear to stem from the same underlying BPA vehicle facilitating recurring orders for these customized language support services.

Waltz Terry Thatcher currently holds four active BPA contract vehicles awarded by the Department of State Bureau of Administration, establishing a pre-qualified vendor pool for the acquisition of language services through streamlined ordering procedures. The most recent BPA with a $150,000 ceiling value runs through September 2024 and has already yielded two call orders this fiscal year for $2,553 in combined obligations. Another $150,000 BPA from fiscal 2022 facilitated three call orders valued at $6,593.04 for similar services that fiscal period. An earlier $100,000 fiscal 2021 BPA enabled a $55 order, while records also indicate a $0 potential value BPA established in fiscal 2020, presumably serving as a replenishment mechanism. All BPAs are multiple award vehicles allowing the Bureau of Administration to leverage a pool of pre-vetted vendors for their language support needs across the Department of State's global affairs mission.
