Yoshinaga, Manabu

Yoshinaga, Manabu is a minority-owned, woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Washington, D.C., that provides professional interpretation, translation, regulatory science advisory services, civil space cooperation assistance, and executive staff support to the Department of State as a prime contractor exclusively through blanket purchase agreements on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis.

The vendor operates entirely within a single customer relationship. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 53 of 57 total awards and $846 thousand of the $867 thousand combined potential value across all recent federal work, with an additional four awards from the Department of State itself valued at $21 thousand. Work is performed in Washington, D.C., and all task orders are issued on a firm fixed-price basis. Yoshinaga, Manabu holds three active blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration: a $250 thousand BPA running through September 30, 2026 (BPA 190PRL25A0371, with 33 task orders issued to date for $110 thousand); a $150 thousand BPA that expired September 30, 2024 (BPA 190PRL24A0371, with 10 task orders issued for $28 thousand); and a $150 thousand BPA that expired September 30, 2023 (BPA 190PRL22A0371, with 4 task orders issued for $21 thousand). An older $150 thousand BPA (190PRL18A0371) received one task order valued at $35 thousand, and another agreement (190PRL23A0371) received one task order for $6 thousand. Representative recent work includes 18 task orders awarded October 1, 2024, against the current $250 thousand BPA, ranging from $400 to $13,596 in individual ceiling values and spanning completion dates from October 2024 through December 2025, covering interpretation, translation, and advisory support for State Department operations.

Award activity increased sharply from five awards in 2021 to 30 in 2024, then dropped to four awards in 2025 (through the source date of October 15, 2025). The vendor has invoiced $217 thousand against the $867 thousand in combined potential value (25% obligated rate), indicating substantial unutilized BPA ceiling capacity. The sole proprietorship competes exclusively in full-and-open competition without set-aside designation and holds no subcontract relationships in the source data — all 57 awards represent prime work. Translation and Interpretation Services (NAICS unspecified in the source) and Support-Administrative (Translation and Interpreting) under PSC account for 100% of classified work. Yoshinaga, Manabu's federal footprint is narrow and concentrated: a single agency customer, single contract vehicle type (blanket purchase agreements), single capability domain (language services with expanding scope into regulatory and diplomatic support), and single place of performance.
