Als International Inc.

Als International Inc., doing business as Legal Language Services, is a for-profit language services provider headquartered in Prairie Village, Kansas, that delivers Spanish-to-English translation, transcription, document editing, and interpretation services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule. The vendor operates without SBA set-aside designations on full-and-open competition, though several recent task orders carry Total Small Business set-asides issued by customer agencies.

The Social Security Administration dominates Als International's customer concentration. SSA accounts for 31 of 81 total awards (38% of award count) and $18.2 million of $51.9 million combined potential value — more than one-third of total dollars. This concentration reflects a single-award BPA established with SSA in January 2022 valued at $3.687 million through April 2027 for Spanish-to-English verbatim translation supporting the Office of Disability Adjudication Review. Recent task orders under that parent BPA include a $679.857 million base-year call (March 2022), a $646.313 million Option Year 1 call (March 2023), a $737.462 million Option Year 2 call (March 2024), and three additional 2025–2026 calls ranging from $192.760 million to $558.687 million for disability adjudication translation and editing services, performed at Falls Church, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; and Shawnee Mission, Kansas. A secondary ranking by potential value inverts the customer picture: GSA Federal Acquisition Service drives $31.6 million across two awards — a new $20 million Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded October 23, 2025, with a five-year term through October 2030 covering nationwide translation, interpretation, transcription, and document editing services, and the underlying Multiple Award Schedule vehicle against which SSA and other agencies issue task orders.

Vehicle position is concentrated on GSA contracting. Als International holds 68 task orders under the Multiple Award Schedule (generating $19.1 million combined potential value) and 12 task orders under The Professional Services Schedule (generating $7.5 million combined potential value). The October 2025 Federal Supply Schedule award represents a direct five-year schedule position enabling task-order competition across all federal agencies. Recent non-SSA work includes transcription services for US Pacific Fleet Forces (two delivery orders totaling $32.321 million, October 2022 and October 2023, both completed or nearing completion), translation work for the Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service, and smaller calls from the Census Bureau, Food and Drug Administration, and Department of Justice.

Activity has remained modest and flat. The source records five awards in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026, with combined invoiced obligations of $12.3 million against $51.9 million potential value (24% realization rate). Six awards carrying $1.3 million combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete risk concentrated in the SSA BPA renewal window. Capability concentration aligns with NAICS 541990 (Translation and Interpretation Services), with secondary work in transcription (NAICS 561421) and legal support services. The vendor's 22-year SAM registration history and sustained SSA relationship underscore established capability in federal disability adjudication documentation, but customer and vehicle concentration — with SSA and GSA schedules anchoring 97% of potential value — indicates limited diversification across federal agencies or contract vehicles.
