Army Language Training and Support Services IDIQ 2011-2016

The Army Language Training and Support Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, established in 2011 and running through 2016, is a multiple-award contract focused on providing comprehensive foreign language services to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The contract enables various Army commands to procure language-related services through task orders, with a shared ceiling of $110 million. Primary services under this vehicle include foreign language training, curriculum development, proficiency testing, translation, interpretation, and language instruction designed to enhance soldier readiness and capabilities in critical languages.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently ranged from approximately $700,000 to $9 million, with performance periods typically spanning one to three years. Key prime contractors included JTG, Inc., International Communications Associates Inc. (ICA Language Services), International Center for Language Studies, Language Associates LLC (Diplomatic Language Services), and Dictyon, LLC. While none of the task orders were set aside for specific socioeconomic categories, several contractors were woman-owned or minority-owned small businesses. The majority of task orders were priced using labor hours, with a few using firm fixed-price or time and materials pricing. Most services were delivered in support of TRADOC, with performance locations primarily concentrated in areas like Rosslyn, Virginia, and focused on improving language skills for military personnel.
