Blanket Purchase Agreement N3654A11A2001

The Defense Intelligence Agency awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees for translator/interpreter services. The BPA has a potential value of $500,000 and period of performance from December 2010 through December 2012.

The BPA facilitates rapid acquisition of language support services in Djibouti through firm-fixed price call orders. Twenty-one call orders were placed for interpreter and translator tasks in Djibouti, with values ranging from $206 to $33,583.50. The Defense Intelligence Agency, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Department of the Navy, and Navy Installations Command utilized the BPA for Horn of Africa operations.

The BPA and associated call orders aimed to procure interpreter and translator services to support the U.S. military and intelligence community's presence in Djibouti during Operation Enduring Freedom. As a foreign awardee, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees delivered language and logistical support through the BPA to aid DIA and other agencies' regional activities. The arrangement provided an efficient ordering mechanism for recurring translation requirements in the area of operations over the two-year period.
