Blanket Purchase Agreement S5121A24A0003

The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Language Training Center Inc. (dba LTC Language Solutions), a minority-owned small business, for American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter services. The BPA has a ceiling value of $714,285 and a period of performance through January 13, 2029. The contract is intended to facilitate reasonable accommodations for DCMA employees and job applicants who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. LTC Language Solutions has previously provided language services, including ASL interpretation and foreign language training, to various federal agencies such as the Department of Justice and Department of Veterans Affairs. The BPA was awarded under a total small business set-aside, leveraging LTC's status as a woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business and Subchapter S corporation.

The original solicitation was a Sources Sought notice issued by DCMA to identify qualified contractors capable of providing ASL interpreter services. Responses to the notice were used to aid in the agency's acquisition strategy and to determine the potential for a small business set-aside. The scope of services includes facilitating reasonable accommodations for Deaf/Hard of Hearing individuals, as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act, through the provision of ASL interpreters. This contract award demonstrates LTC Language Solutions' expertise and capacity to deliver ongoing language services to support federal agency missions and compliance with accessibility requirements.
