About this vehicle
The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services established a Master IDIQ for Language and Interpretation Support Services on September 19, 2025, with a shared ceiling of $200 million and ordering authority extending through July 31, 2030. The vehicle remains actively ordered with more than four years of remaining authority.
The vehicle procures telephonic, video, and in-person interpretation and translation services to enable USCIS officers to interview asylum and protection seekers in their native languages. The originating market research identified a government need for 13 to 23 million interpretation minutes annually across 61 languages, with capacity to surge during time-sensitive events. All task orders to date fund RAIO Directorate operations.
Eight task orders have been awarded since the vehicle's establishment, with six orders issued on September 19, 2025 (the vehicle's award date), one on March 1, 2026, and one on March 15, 2026. The ordering pace has slowed: six orders in 2025 and two in 2026 through mid-year. Combined potential value stands at $17.1 million with $16.9 million obligated (99% of combined potential), indicating the vehicle is heavily committed relative to its size within the broader shared ceiling.
Competition remains fragmented across six primes. Lionbridge Global Solutions II Inc. holds the largest position with $6.1 million across two orders, while AD Astra, Inc. holds $2.4 million across two orders. Legal Interpreting Services, Inc., Universe Technical Translation, Inc., and Language Line, LLC each hold one order valued at $2.1 million. All awards carry no set-aside designation. Task order ceilings range from $241,800 (a March 2026 Field Operations Directorate order with ultimate completion in March 2029) to $4 million (a March 2026 RAIO order completing February 2027). Most initial orders carry ceilings of approximately $2.14 million with completion by September 2026.
