About this IDV
The Department of State Bureau of Administration awarded a $250,000 multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Setsuko M Duffin, operating as JLS Japanese Language Solutions, effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026. JLS Japanese Language Solutions is a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Lexington, Kentucky. The BPA provides on-demand Japanese language services including translation, interpretation, and cultural training to support the agency's global operations, foreign policy initiatives, and workforce diversity objectives. No set-asides were utilized for this award, and work is performed in the Washington, D.C. area.
Four task orders have been issued under this BPA vehicle to date, all awarded on October 1, 2024, with values ranging from $597 to $13,731 and completion dates spanning January through August 2025. These firm-fixed-price call orders continue the Department of State's established relationship with JLS Japanese Language Solutions, which has held four successive BPA vehicles since 2021 with incrementally increasing ceiling values ($100,000, $150,000, $150,000, and $250,000). The language services procured through these task orders directly support the agency's communication, engagement, and operational requirements, with the contractor performing as prime contractor across all awards. This procurement approach demonstrates the government's confidence in the vendor's specialized Japanese language capabilities and consistent performance delivery.
