Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C10M22A0003

The Department of Veterans Affairs Headquarters awarded a multiple award blanket purchase agreement to Diversified Sign Language Services, LLC for American Sign Language interpretation and translation services. The base BPA has a potential value of $250,000 and period of performance through August 2027. Two firm fixed price call contracts were issued against the BPA for ASL services, one valued at $523 with a completion date of September 2023 and another for $7,960.22 ending in October 2023.

The BPA and associated call contracts aim to procure ASL interpretation and translation services from the prime contractor to support programs assisting deaf and hard of hearing veterans served by the agency. As no set-aside designation was used for the awards, the contracting opportunity was open to all offerors. Performance of the call contracts is to take place in Washington, D.C. at the headquarters location. The long term agreement and initial task orders indicate the Department's need for sign language services on an as-needed basis over the next few years to ensure its services and communications are accessible to its veterans community with hearing loss.
