About this forecast
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), forecasts a recompete for sign language interpretation services for its employees in the "Zone 4" region, with an estimated solicitation release date of June 1, 2027. USCIS requires virtual and/or onsite interpretation on a recurring and as-needed basis for deaf and hard-of-hearing employees, with onsite coverage for specific events when virtual is not an option, such as team meetings, town halls, and facility presentations, and some events may occur after normal business hours and on weekends. Interpreting must cover sign-to-voice and voice-to-sign using Signed English (SE) and/or American Sign Language (ASL), and the forecast is marked as a Total Small Business set-aside with an estimated award date of September 1, 2027.
The estimated award value range is $500,000 to $1,000,000 under a firm fixed price contract on a GSA Schedule vehicle, and the requirement follows contract 70SBUR24F00000257, currently held by TCS Interpreting, Inc.
