About this IDV
Language Line, LLC, a foreign-owned language services provider headquartered in Monterey, California, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) valued at $350,000 by the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division on October 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. This BPA establishes a framework for the procurement of telephonic interpretation services to support the Department of Justice's operational and administrative requirements. The contract is a civilian award issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting open competition. Language Line delivers interpretation services in over 240 languages at rates ranging from $0.64 to $0.81 per minute for Spanish and $0.69 to $0.81 per minute for other languages, with performance conducted from the contractor's Monterey, California facility. The BPA serves as the parent agreement enabling the Criminal Division to issue task orders (termed BPA calls) as operational needs arise without undergoing separate competitive procurement processes.
The BPA has generated numerous task orders throughout its period of performance, predominantly supporting the Bureau of Prisons across over 50 correctional facilities nationwide, including Federal Correctional Institutions, Federal Correctional Complexes, Metropolitan Detention Centers, and U.S. Penitentiaries. Representative BPA calls include orders ranging from nominal amounts (as low as $20) to significant task orders exceeding $22,000 for facilities such as the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn and Federal Correctional Institution Miami. Additional task orders have been issued by the Civil Rights Division and Civil Division within the Department of Justice, demonstrating the BPA's utility across multiple agency components. The contract vehicle also serves as the foundation for task orders issued under Language Line's GSA Federal Supply Schedule Multiple Award contract (47QRAA23D006X), which provides supplemental authority for interpretation and translation service procurement. Consistent with federal correctional facility operations, the interpreted services support communication needs for limited English proficient inmates, staff, and administrative personnel, enabling effective service delivery in healthcare, legal, disciplinary, and operational contexts throughout the Bureau of Prisons system.
