About this opportunity
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a special notice regarding the extension of their existing Sign Language Interpreting Services (SLIS II) contract with MAF. This extension is being processed as a sole source modification under FAR 6.302-1 procedures, specifically authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The contract is designated as a Woman-Owned Small Business sole source award and falls under the Translation and Interpretation Services NAICS category. The notice was posted on July 7, 2025, and represents NGA's intent to continue essential support services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing employees. The contract extension covers both continental United States (CONUS) and outside continental United States (OCONUS) locations.
The primary purpose of this extension is to ensure uninterrupted sign language interpreting services for NGA's DHH employees while the agency develops a follow-on contract. The extension period totals 9 months, structured as one 7-month option followed by one 2-month option. NGA has determined that MAF is the only contractor reasonably available to meet these requirements due to their current skills, experience, and necessary TS/SCI security clearance. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested firms may submit written notification to the Contract Specialist by 2:00 PM EST on July 14, 2025, with supporting evidence demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the procurement based on any responses received. Points of contact are Collin M. Larson (Contracting Specialist) and Haydee L. Soto-Carreras (Contracting Officer).
