Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL23A1981

The Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the Department of State Bureau of Administration to Tilde Language Services, LLC as a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract vehicle. The BPA has a potential value of $150,000 and requires the contractor to provide language services and technical translation services to the agency through September 30, 2023. Specific tasks will be ordered via subsequent task orders or price lists, with an emphasis on language interpretation and document translation related to the Department of State's operations. As the agency tasked with representing U.S. foreign policy interests abroad, it relies on accurate language services to carry out diplomatic initiatives worldwide. This BPA aims to procure those critical capabilities from Tilde on an as-needed basis to support the Department's global mission.

This multiple-award BPA functions as an ordering mechanism for language services across the Department of State. Contractors will compete for discrete task orders requiring skills in particular language pairs and subject matter areas. As no set-aside was used, the BPA is open to all qualified vendors. Its indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity structure provides flexibility to procure diverse interpretation and translation tasks over the year-long period of performance based on the agency's evolving needs.
