Alta Language Services Inc.

Alta Language Services Inc., an employee-owned language services company based in Atlanta, Georgia, develops language assessment test items, administers bilingual proficiency assessments, and provides language testing services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on both indefinite-delivery contracts and delivery orders, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations across 48 recent awards totaling $96.3 million in combined potential value.

Alta's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), which accounts for 16 awards and $83.8 million combined potential value — 87% of all dollars. The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service contributes 12 awards and $6.8 million. Three other agencies — Customs and Border Protection, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, and Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Enterprise Information Systems — round out the top five by potential value at a combined $5.6 million. This concentration reflects Alta's core strength in military language proficiency assessment: the majority of TRADOC work feeds the Defense Language Proficiency Test 5 (DLPT5) and Defense Language Proficiency Tests (DLPTS) development mission. Representative TRADOC awards include a $935 thousand delivery order for DLIFLC test item development (June 2024), a $765 thousand task order for Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center test item development (June 2023), and a $522.7 thousand task order for test item development under the DLPT5 IDIQ (June 2024). IRS work centers on bilingual assessment services under GSA Schedule — examples include a $71.8 thousand BPA call for bilingual assessment development and administration (July 2024) and a $62.9 thousand BPA call for bilingual assessments (April 2023). CBP work is similarly positioned on GSA Schedule for language testing delivery orders, including a $320.6 thousand small-business set-aside delivery order for language testing (September 2025).

Alta holds two primary indefinite-delivery vehicles. The largest is a single-award TRADOC IDIQ for Defense Language Proficiency Test 5 development — initially reported at $50.4 million, subsequently documented as a $37.6 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded May 7, 2025, running through May 6, 2031, requiring development of 5,000 test items in the base year and 7,500 items annually across four option years across 350 foreign languages. The second is a $4.9 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the IRS under GSA Multiple Award Schedule for bilingual assessment services, running through April 2, 2028. Alta also places task orders against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (23 task orders, $7.4 million combined potential value). Activity has been modest and relatively flat over the past five years — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, six in 2025, and one in early 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. Recent work includes a $698.9 thousand Defense Language Proficiency Assessment full-range test item development delivery order from DoD PEO Enterprise Information Systems (February 2026), a $438.5 thousand TRADOC delivery order for listening and reading comprehension test item development (August 2025), and a $406.9 thousand TRADOC delivery order for listening comprehension test items (June 2025). Alta's capability portfolio, grounded in 31 awards under NAICS 541514 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and 20 awards under PSC Education/Training–Personnel Testing, centers on military language proficiency assessment item development and civilian bilingual skills assessment, with primary performance locations at Presidio Monterey, California and Atlanta, Georgia.
