Award values span $70 to $300, with all contracts completed in Washington, D.C. in a prime capacity as an individual provider. The Bureau utilizes C2E Translation's expertise to fulfill diverse translation needs that facilitate communications for State Department operations worldwide.

Additionally, C2E Translation holds multiple blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Administration as a prime contractor to supply translation and interpretation services on an as-needed basis. The BPAs have ordering periods between 2020-2024 and potential values up to $150,000. By establishing these multiple award BPAs, the State Department can efficiently procure language services to support international engagements without undergoing full and open competition for each individual order.
