Additionally, the company holds other Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles, such as a $750,000 single-award BPA with the Naval Sea Systems Command, further showcasing its expertise and capacity to deliver on-site and virtual interpreting services to meet the communication access needs of federal employees and program participants, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
