Yuri G Somov

Yuri G Somov, a Washington, D.C.-based sole proprietor, provides English-Russian translation and interpretation services to the Department of State and affiliated agencies through BPA task orders and standalone awards, competing exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal procurement and operating as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.

Somov is categorized under NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC 6159 (Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting), with a federal contracting history dating to 2004. The vendor operates from a single location in Washington, D.C., and holds multiple-award BPA positions with the Department of State Bureau of Administration. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused: professional translation, simultaneous interpretation, and language consulting in English-Russian language pairs, with documented experience supporting diplomatic communications, the Uzbekistan Security Working Group, and Voice of America programs.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 24 of 33 awards tracked in recent years, representing $680 thousand of the combined $742 thousand potential value across the active footprint (80% of award count, 94% of potential dollars). The US Agency for Global Media Voice of America places 4 awards worth $17 thousand, and the Department of State proper (non-Bureau) carries 5 awards worth $4 thousand. This three-agency distribution has remained consistent across multiple award cycles. Five parent BPAs anchor Somov's task-order pipeline: BPA 190PRL25A1191 (9 task orders, $10 thousand combined potential), Basic Ordering Agreement SOPRLS06G5059 (6 task orders, $41 thousand), and three additional State Department BPAs issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 (each with $150 thousand ceilings). The most recent BPA, awarded October 1, 2024 with a $250 thousand ceiling and a September 30, 2026 completion date, generated four task orders in October 2024 with individual values ranging from $55 to $5,084.32 and completion dates between November 2024 and January 2025.

Award activity has remained flat at roughly four to five awards per year from 2021 through 2025. Combined potential value stands at $742 thousand, with only $92 thousand (12% of potential) obligated to date, reflecting the small task-order sizing typical of interpreted and translated-document work. No recompete cliff materializes within the next twenty-four months; most recent task orders complete by September 2026 under the latest BPA renewal. Somov operates exclusively on the prime side of federal work and carries no subcontract exposure in the portfolio.
