The FEMA Interpreter Services 2012-2017 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides telephonic interpretation and translation services for federal agencies, with a primary focus on supporting disaster relief and emergency management operations. The contract enables rapid language assistance for diverse government programs, particularly those serving vulnerable populations such as disaster survivors and unaccompanied alien children. Spanning from 2012 to 2017, the vehicle has a shared ceiling value of $14,666,667 and allows multiple prime contractors to deliver on-demand language services across various federal agencies.

Key task orders under this IDIQ predominantly supported disaster response and immigrant support programs, with task order values ranging from as low as $1,235.92 to over $14.6 million. Notable task orders included telephonic interpretation services for Hurricane Sandy survivors, the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program, and support for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Mitigation Branch. Contractors like Language Select, LLC (a subsidiary of United Language Group, LLC) were awarded significant orders. The task orders were consistently structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders with no specific small business set-asides. Performance locations appeared to be nationwide, supporting federal agencies' emergency and humanitarian service needs, with most task orders having completion dates between 2013 and 2018.
