Weisman-Depaz Arielle

Weisman-Depaz Arielle, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Fairfax, Virginia, provides language services—interpretation, translation, cultural training, and expert advising—to the Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on short-cycle BPA task orders; no subcontract footprint is present in the source.

Weisman-Depaz Arielle's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of State. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 10 awards carrying $652 thousand in combined potential value, while four additional awards from the Department of State main office add $2 thousand, for a portfolio total of $655 thousand across 14 awards. The vendor has held successive BPA vehicles with State's Bureau of Administration since October 2022, with three-year rolling award cycles. The current active vehicle is a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (190PRL25A0875) running through September 2026 with a $250 thousand ceiling, under which nine task orders have been issued carrying $5 thousand in combined potential value. Prior BPA vehicles ran through September 2024 (ceiling $150 thousand) and September 2023 (ceiling $150 thousand). Task orders are consistently priced on a firm fixed-price basis with individual ceilings ranging from zero dollars to $620, and completion dates clustered in the first and second quarters of each contract year.

Award velocity has increased sharply in the past two years—one award each in 2021, 2022, and 2023, then six in 2024 and four in 2025—but dollar magnitude remains modest; combined obligated dollars across all awards total approximately $5 thousand (1% of combined potential value), indicating low historical invoicing against available ceiling. The NAICS classification is 541512 (Translation and Interpretation Services) across all 14 awards, and the PSC is Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting. Work is performed in Washington, DC, and subordinate locations worldwide to support the Department of State's diplomatic and international engagement operations.
