About this IDV
This indefinite delivery contract was awarded by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency to provide interpretation, translation, and copyediting services from 2008 to 2013 with a potential value of $1,000,000. Three firm fixed price delivery orders were issued to the prime contractor Sandra Kess for English to German and German to English language services. Delivery orders included $1,454.78 for interpretation services from September 2009 to September 2009, $69,895.63 for translation services from June 2009 to June 2011, and $2,254.27 for interpretation services completed in November 2008. All delivery orders were performed in Germany and did not utilize any set-aside designations. As the Defense Security Cooperation Agency facilitates international arms sales and security cooperation programs, these language services were likely utilized to support communications and documentation associated with building partner capacity efforts. The multiple award IDV and subsequent orders demonstrate the need for ongoing interpretation and translation capabilities to remove language barriers and enable cooperation between the United States and its German counterparts on security assistance initiatives.
