About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), awarded to AD Astra, Inc. on June 9, 2022, provides contract support for Afghan language interpreters under the Operations Allies Welcome program, a Department of Homeland Security initiative established to facilitate the resettlement and integration of Afghan evacuees following the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. The contract, funded by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), carries a ceiling value of $1,808,000 and is structured as a single-award, total small business set-aside, leveraging AD Astra's woman-owned small disadvantaged business certification. The BPA extends through its ultimate completion date of February 29, 2024, enabling USCIS to procure interpretation and related language services necessary to support Afghan refugees and special immigrant visa holders throughout the immigration and resettlement process.
AD Astra, Inc., headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, is a specialized language services provider with extensive experience delivering interpretation, translation, and accessibility solutions across federal agencies. Under this BPA, the contractor supplies Afghan language interpretation services tailored to support USCIS operations and beneficiaries of the Operations Allies Welcome program. The company's delivery of these services aligns with its established capability to provide telephonic and on-site interpretation across multiple languages, a capacity demonstrated through its portfolio of significant IDV contracts with federal agencies including the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Executive Office of the President. This BPA structure allows USCIS to efficiently task order interpretation services as operational requirements emerge during the resettlement and case processing activities associated with Afghan evacuee populations.
