About this IDV
Access Interpreting Inc., a Deaf and Coda-owned for-profit Subchapter S corporation, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a civilian federal agency, to provide sign language interpreting, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), and Cued Speech language transliteration services. The $36.2 million IDC, which has an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, enables Access Interpreting Inc. to deliver these essential communication services to support NIH's biomedical research and public health initiatives. The company has also been awarded numerous delivery orders under this IDC, as well as other Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with various civilian federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of State, to provide a wide range of language access services. These contract awards, which are not set aside for small businesses, demonstrate Access Interpreting Inc.'s established position as a comprehensive provider of language access solutions to the federal government.
The federal contract opportunity materials indicate that NIH intends to award a sole source contract to Access Interpreting Inc. for a five-month bridge period to prevent a lapse in sign language interpreting and CART services while the agency completes a competitive small business set-aside acquisition process for these services. The sole source action is authorized due to the impracticability of seeking competition during this interim period, as awarding to another source would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable service delays. The forthcoming competitive solicitation will have a one-year base period with four one-year option periods to provide these essential communication services for NIH's deaf and hard of hearing employees, patients, and visitors.
