About this IDV
The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Accent On Languages, Inc. to provide language services including translation and interpretation. Over multiple task orders valued at over $500,000 with periods of performance from 2022 through 2027, services will support FEMA programs in locations including Washington D.C., Berkeley, California, Anchorage, Alaska, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Services under the IDV and task orders include written translation for stakeholder meetings, American Sign Language translation for 30 individuals, and translation and interpretation to aid response operations for disasters like Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico. Additionally, the Transportation Security Administration issued a $5,380 task order for interpreter services at its 2022 symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Collectively these orders aim to provide critical language services to support emergency management and transportation security operations through translated materials and interpreted communication.
The Department of Homeland Security components leveraged their existing multiple award schedule contracts with Accent On Languages, Inc. on a single award basis to procure these language services. The services ordered will aid programs like FEMA's disaster preparedness and Nuclear Incident Response Team in their efforts to communicate effectively with diverse affected populations. Procuring translation and interpretation through these IDV vehicles and task orders allows the agencies flexibility to obtain language support in multiple locations and scenarios over the long-term without full and open competition for each individual project requirement.
