AD Astra, Inc. was awarded a single award blanket purchase agreement by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under the Operations Allies Welcome program. The $1.8M BPA provides contract support for Afghan language interpreters, including translation and interpretation services. Services will be performed within the scope of the Multiple Award Schedule contract, which offers professional services and solutions to federal agencies. As a total small business set aside, the award furthers the agency's goal of promoting small business participation in federal contracting. The period of performance is February 2024, supporting the mission of welcoming and processing Afghan allies who supported U.S. operations in Afghanistan.
The BPA establishes fixed pricing and terms for ordering translation and interpretation services as needed to assist Afghan evacuees and refugees. Task orders under the BPA will specify language coverage and hours required to facilitate immigration processing and resettlement. As the refugee crisis from Afghanistan continues, such contracted language support remains critical to efficiently and compassionately resettling allies who aided the U.S. mission. AD Astra's award positions them to directly aid the humanitarian response through delivering real-time communication assistance.
