Deaf Access Solutions, Inc.

Deaf Access Solutions, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland, provides American Sign Language interpretation, Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART), oral transliteration, video remote interpreting, and captioning services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related vehicles. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open; no set-aside categories appear to characterize the prime footprint, though several individual awards carry Total Small Business set-asides.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on communication accessibility services for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and communication-impaired federal employees and constituents. Representative work includes a $20.93 million delivery order with the Environmental Protection Agency (Jan 2026–Dec 2030) for agency-wide interpreting services under the GSA MAS; an $11.75 million delivery order with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (Feb 2025–Aug 2029) for sign language interpreting services, also set aside for total small business; a $15 million indefinite delivery contract with the Department of State Bureau of Human Resources (Mar 2023–Mar 2028) for sign language services at clearance levels up to Top Secret/SCI; and a $2.95 million BPA call with USCIS (Dec 2025–Dec 2027) for accommodation support services covering Zone 2 (New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and surrounding states). The vendor self-performs all work with no subcontractor engagement across its SCI-reportable portfolio.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The top five customer agencies account for 38% of recent awards by count but only 31% by combined potential value, a divergence reflecting Deaf Access Solutions' large contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ($22.3 million combined potential value across 8 awards) and the Securities and Exchange Commission ($12.2 million combined potential value across 9 awards), which anchor dollars despite lower award frequency. USCIS places 59 awards valued at $18.1 million; FEMA's support and incident-response sections combined account for 50 awards valued at $24.1 million. The vendor operates across 87 distinct federal agencies, signaling broad customer dispersion.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule is the dominant vehicle, representing 335 task orders and $137 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds The Professional Services Schedule (163 task orders, $14.3 million combined potential value) and several smaller BPAs and IDCs, including a $249,000 multiple-award BPA with Naval Sea Systems Command (May 2025–May 2030), a $4.88 million single-award SEC BPA (May 2026–Jul 2027), and single-award vehicles with the Smithsonian Institution and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Award activity has declined in recent years. The vendor executed 23 awards in 2022, dropping to 10 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 5 recorded so far in 2026. Fifteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $18.6 million and therefore face recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing of $17.7 million across FY2022–FY2025 reflects steady federal services delivery. The vendor invoiced $3.5 million in FY2022 across 19.5 FTEs, growing to $5 million in FY2025 across 28.9 FTEs — a 48% increase in FTE headcount delivering federal services over four years. On SCI-reportable federal service contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $83.65 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile at $139.79 per hour and entry-level work pricing at the 10th percentile around $72.08 per hour. The vendor builds its own delivery teams; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 0% of total contractor hours, indicating full self-performance posture.

We provide nationally certified sign language interpreters and Computer Aided Realtime Transcription (CART) services for the Deaf and hard of hearing.
