About this IDV
Friends Interpreting Services LLC, an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) certified as an 8(a) Program Participant and Women-Owned Small Business based in Charles Town, West Virginia, was awarded a Multiple Award Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract on July 14, 2016, with a ceiling value of $505,600 and an ultimate completion date of July 13, 2026. The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded this contract without a set-aside restriction. The underlying Federal Supply Schedule contract (GS00F216DA) provides pricing and labor categories for American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, video remote interpretation, and Computer-Aided Real-Time Translation (CART) transcription services, with labor categories including sign language interpreters with varying notice requirements and CART providers for both on-site and remote services. Pricing is structured on an hourly basis with three-hour minimums for interpretation services and per-minute rates with 15-minute minimums for video remote interpretation. All labor rates are based on Department of Labor Wage Determination Number 1988-0742. The contract establishes a government-wide vehicle enabling federal agencies to procure communication access services for deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind individuals in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
Under this FSS contract vehicle, Friends Interpreting Services has been issued 23 documented delivery orders spanning October 2016 through October 2024, with cumulative award values exceeding $9.3 million across civilian and defense agencies including the Department of Transportation ($5.47M), Department of Justice Criminal Division ($1.64M), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($975K), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management ($5.03M), and numerous other agencies such as the Department of Army, Naval Air Systems Command, U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Department of Homeland Security. Delivery orders were issued using various pricing mechanisms including firm fixed-price, labor-hours, and time-and-materials arrangements, with contract periods of performance extending through September 2029. Additionally, the contractor has been awarded four Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule—including a single-award $250,000 BPA with Naval Supply Systems Command and multi-agency strategic sourcing BPAs for FEMA Region 2 and related Department of Homeland Security components—facilitating streamlined procurement of ASL interpretation and CART services across multiple federal entities and supporting ongoing government communication access obligations.
