Wenjia Zhou

Wenjia Zhou, a self-certified woman-owned small disadvantaged business operating as a sole proprietorship from Lexington, Kentucky, provides foreign language interpreting, translating, and related support services to the Department of State as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. All 26 awards in the source footprint are BPA calls or task orders issued against Blanket Purchase Agreements held with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, with no subcontract activity.

Wenjia Zhou's customer base is monolithic: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 24 awards ($769 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of State for 2 awards ($4 thousand), representing 100% of coverage. Work is concentrated in the 500-1900 PSC band (Support–Administrative: Translation and Interpreting), with all 26 awards classified under primary NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services). The vendor holds a series of multiple-award BPAs with the Bureau of Administration, including three active vehicles: a BPA with a $250 thousand ceiling running through September 2026 (awarded October 1, 2024); a prior BPA with a $150 thousand ceiling that expired September 30, 2024 (awarded October 1, 2023); and an earlier BPA with a $150 thousand ceiling that expired September 30, 2023 (awarded October 1, 2022). Two recent representative awards exemplify the scope: a $2,884 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 for language services with completion scheduled for May 29, 2026, and a $7,358 BPA call awarded March 16, 2022 for conservation and biodiversity protection (which included language services, domestic violence response, and workshop organization). The vendor's service offerings have expanded over time beyond basic interpreting and translation to include domestic violence response, conservation and biodiversity protection work, and workshop and meeting organization, all performed in the Washington, D.C. area.

Activity remains light and episodic: three awards in 2021, seven in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and two in 2025. Combined potential value across all 26 awards stands at $773 thousand, with only $123 thousand obligated to date (16% of potential value). The vendor has held Department of State contracts continuously since 2016, suggesting incumbent status on the Bureau of Administration's language-services procurement stream. With the current $250 thousand ceiling BPA running through September 2026, the vendor faces recompete opportunity or risk depending on customer satisfaction and competitive dynamics within the language-services market for federal foreign assistance and diplomatic operations.
