Actfl Professional Services, Llc.

Actfl Professional Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Inc. (a nonprofit), operates as a prime contractor providing Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) standard setting studies, language assessment services, and program analytical support exclusively to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. All twenty-seven recent prime awards carry Total Small Business set-aside or full-and-open designations; Actfl competes across both postures but draws the overwhelming majority of its work (26 of 27 awards, 98% of combined potential value) from a single parent indefinite delivery contract held with TRADOC.

Actfl is based in Alexandria, Virginia, and operates as a for-profit limited liability company. The parent organization, American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Inc., is a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered at the same address. Actfl's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: it conducts DLPT standard setting studies, recruits and manages language proficiency test panelists, coordinates travel logistics for test administration, and provides analytical support to maintain foreign language instruction standards for U.S. military personnel. Work is performed primarily at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center at the Presidio of Monterey, California, with subordinate performance at Linthicum Heights, Maryland, and other DLIFLC locations.

The vendor's entire customer base is the Army. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command accounts for 26 awards valued at $13.7 million in combined potential value; the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (a single delivery order issued September 15, 2026, for $165.2 thousand) comprises the remaining award. Customer concentration is absolute — TRADOC represents 100% of Actfl's award portfolio by both volume and dollars. The two top parent vehicles are single-award IDIQs: the DLIFLC Standard Setting Studies IDIQ 47QFHA22D0003, awarded to Actfl on June 6, 2022, with a $5.34 million ceiling and completion date of June 5, 2027, carries 16 task orders totaling $2.2 million in combined potential value; and the earlier DLIFLC Standard Setting Studies IDIQ 47QFHA18D0001 carries 9 task orders totaling $1.2 million. Delivery orders under both vehicles are priced firm fixed-price and range from approximately $105 thousand to $163 thousand each. Actfl operates with no subcontract footprint — all work is performed directly by the vendor as prime.

Activity has remained steady at two to five awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with recent task orders including a $165.2 thousand delivery order from DFAS (September 15, 2026), a $159 thousand delivery order for Option Year 3 Task Order 4 from TRADOC (April 27, 2026), and a $163 thousand delivery order for Option Year 3 Task Order 3 from TRADOC (January 30, 2026). Two awards carrying combined potential value of $324 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete risk on limited work volume. Of the $13.9 million in combined potential value across all awards, $3.3 million has been obligated to date (24%).
