About this IDV
The Executive Office for Immigration Review awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Translation Excellence Inc. on February 1, 2026, with a $30 million ceiling, designated as a total small business set-aside and one of multiple awards under this program.
Translation Excellence Inc. is an SBA-certified 8(a) program participant and HUBZone firm, minority-owned and headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, operating its Language Services division.
The IDIQ procures transcription support services for immigration court hearings and oral decision recordings, including English-to-English transcription and court reporting. The solicitation required contractors to demonstrate capability to transcribe 50–100 hours of audio per week with a 5-day turnaround and 175–200 hours per week with a 20-day turnaround, while meeting public trust clearance and DOJ cybersecurity requirements. The government anticipated awarding up to seven multiple-award contracts across all awardees, with an aggregate ceiling of $75 million and an estimated annual volume exceeding 2.1 million pages.
Performance is primarily at Washington, DC, though contractors must support on-site transcription services and process both digital audio files (99%) and analog recordings (less than 1%).
The period of performance runs from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026 (base year), with four optional 12-month periods extending through December 31, 2030.
