About this IDV

The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Administration awarded a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to David S. Sperling, a sole proprietorship specializing in professional foreign language services, effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026. The BPA carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and establishes Sperling as an approved provider for on-demand language support services. The contract employs a firm-fixed-price structure with no set-aside designation, reflecting a competitive merit-based selection process. Services are performed in Washington, DC 20037. The BPA enables the Department of State to efficiently procure professional foreign language interpretation, translation, and associated language support services as needed through individual task orders, rather than executing separate full and open competitions for each requirement.

Under this BPA framework, the Department of State has issued multiple task orders to Sperling for language services ranging from $800 to $7,200, with completion dates extending through March 2025. These task orders support the Department's diplomatic operations and international engagement objectives by facilitating official communications, bilateral meetings, workshops, public outreach, and official visits through document translation and real-time interpretation services. Sperling's extensive contract history with the Department of State Bureau of Administration demonstrates the agency's sustained requirement for specialized foreign language capabilities to enable precise communication during diplomatic negotiations, events, and international engagements. The firm-fixed-price task order structure ensures cost predictability while allowing the Department flexibility to scale language service procurement based on operational demand.
