Catherine Amsellem is a woman-owned small business registered in SAM.gov, located in West New York, New Jersey, that specializes in providing language services to federal government agencies. As a sole proprietorship, the firm offers professional linguistic support including translation, interpretation, and localization services. The company has established itself as a contractor primarily working with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Administration, focusing on supporting global operational communication needs for State Department personnel.

Each contract has been structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement, indicating predictable pricing and scope for the government agency.

The company holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDV) vehicles with the Department of State. The first BPA, awarded on October 1, 2023, has a ceiling value of $150,000 and runs through September 30, 2024. A subsequent BPA, awarded on October 1, 2024, has an expanded ceiling value of $250,000 and will run through September 30, 2025. Both are multiple-award vehicles that allow Catherine Amsellem to compete for task orders providing linguistic services. The IDVs are structured to provide the Bureau of Administration with flexible, on-demand access to language expertise, with performance locations primarily centered in Washington, DC, supporting State Department headquarters and nearby facilities.
