Yokoyama Yuji

Yokoyama Yuji is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a sole proprietorship based in Manassas, Virginia. The company specializes in providing comprehensive language services, with a primary focus on Japanese language expertise, to federal government agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2007, Yokoyama Yuji offers professional foreign language interpreting, translation, advisory services, and operational language support across various government programs and initiatives.

The company has consistently provided language-related services primarily to the Department of State Bureau of Administration, with contract values ranging from as low as $55 to as high as $22,000. These services have included translation of technical documentation, interpretation for bilateral and multilateral meetings, protocol consultation, webinar hosting, meeting support for diplomatic engagements, and advisory services across various international and domestic programs. Yokoyama Yuji has supported a diverse range of activities, including meetings with government officials, military coordination efforts, international agreements, and specialized research projects. Notable contract areas have included US-Japan cooperation initiatives, military group support, diplomatic meetings, and language services for various government departments. Importantly, none of the contracts reviewed utilized specific set-aside designations, indicating the company competed on an open basis.

Yokoyama Yuji has held multiple Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract vehicles with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, with progressively increasing ceiling values. These IDVs have ranged from $0 in fiscal year 2020-2021 to $250,000 for the 2024-2025 period. The BPAs allow the Department of State to issue task orders against pre-established terms, facilitating quick turnaround language support requirements. Each BPA has maintained a similar structure: multiple-award, no specific set-asides, and focused on language services supporting diplomatic, administrative, and operational needs. The vehicles have consistently enabled Yokoyama Yuji to provide flexible, specialized language support across various State Department programs, with task orders covering everything from meeting coordination to technical translation and interpretation services.
