About this IDV
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Universe Technical Translation, Inc., a woman-owned small business, with a $200 million ceiling and an award date of September 19, 2025. This is a multiple-award IDIQ with no set-aside restriction.
Place of performance is Piney Point, Texas. The contract supports the USCIS Refugee, Asylum, and International Operations (RAIO) Directorate and procures language and interpretation support services—telephonic, video, and in-person interpretation and translation—to enable USCIS officers to interview asylum and protection seekers in their native languages. The originating market research, posted in July 2024, identified demand for services across 61 languages at an estimated 13–23 million interpretation minutes annually, with requirement to surge staffing rapidly during time-sensitive events.
Performance extends through September 18, 2030 (base plus options). A delivery order issued September 19, 2025, valued at $2.14 million and carrying firm fixed-price terms, runs through September 18, 2026 and covers services performed in Houston. The company holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract and brings registered experience in federal language services since 2003, including over-the-phone interpretation, written translation, and American Sign Language video interpretation.
