Renee H Yates

Renee H Yates, a woman-owned, minority-owned, and Black American-owned sole proprietorship based in Washington, DC, provides language services including translation, interpretation, and administrative support to the Department of State as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively on full-and-open (no set-aside) federal contracts and does not hold a position on any government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency IDIQs.

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely within the Department of State's Bureau of Administration. Of 47 total prime awards spanning from 2004 to present, 24 awards valued at $773 thousand account for 91% of combined potential value, all placed by the Bureau. A single additional award of $6 thousand comes from the broader Department of State. The vendor's capability portfolio consists entirely of translation and interpretation services (47 awards under PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting) performed in Washington, DC. Representative work includes a $5,644 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 for language services through May 16, 2026; an $8,050 BPA call from October 1, 2024 through August 2, 2025; and historical work including $8,216, $7,268, and $1,896 calls placed in 2022 and 2023 for translation and interpretation support.

The vendor holds multiple blanket purchase agreements as a sole awardee under the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The current active BPA (190PRL25A0174) carries a $250 thousand ceiling through September 30, 2025 and includes an initial $8,050 task order. Prior BPAs include one with a $150 thousand ceiling (2023–2024), another with a $150 thousand ceiling (2022–2023), and one with a $100 thousand ceiling (2021–2022). Task orders under these vehicles cluster around $1,700 to $8,800 per call. The vendor also placed orders under multiple basic ordering agreements (SOPRLS06G5824, SOPRLS08G5824, SOPRLS07G5824) with combined task order values in the $12–21 thousand range.

Activity has remained modest and flat. The vendor received four awards in 2021, four in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $203 thousand against $853 thousand in combined potential value (24% realization rate), indicating slow drawdown against available ceiling space. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. All work is performed by the sole proprietor in Washington, DC as a service provider to a single federal agency customer and bureau.
