The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement to Advanced Language Systems International Inc. for foreign language translation and interpretation services. The firm fixed price BPA has a potential value of $10.8 million and requires performance through March 31, 2021. Task orders will be issued against the BPA on an as-needed basis for translation services to support the Bureau of Prisons' operations. The place of performance is Rockville, Maryland. The BPA aims to procure foreign language translation and interpretation services from the awardee. As the Bureau of Prisons operates federal prisons and detention facilities, it requires translation capabilities to communicate effectively with inmates and detainees who do not speak English. The services under this BPA will assist the Bureau in providing safe, secure, and humane custody of inmates through language access. No set-aside provisions or subcontracting arrangements were specified. The single-award BPA structure provides the agency flexibility to obtain cost-effective translation support on an as-requested basis over the one-year ordering period.
