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 across 399 federal awards spanning sign language and interpretation services. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards); it does not serve as a subcontractor.

Deaf Access Solutions competes predominantly full-and-open, not under set-asides. Of the recent award sample, roughly half carry no set-aside designation, while the remainder split between Total Small Business and Competitive 8(a) designations. The company holds a standing GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) position and Professional Services Schedule (PSS) seat, which anchor the bulk of its federal footprint.

Customer concentration across the federal government is moderate and dispersed. The top five customers by award count—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (59 awards, $18 million potential value), Federal Emergency Management Agency Support Services (30 awards, $15.2 million), U.S. Marine Corps (24 awards, $1 million), FEMA Incident Support (20 awards, $1 million), and FEMA (18 awards, $8 million)—account for 38% of all awards. By potential value, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services leads with $22.3 million across eight awards, followed by USCIS at $18 million, FEMA Support Services at $15.2 million, and the Securities and Exchange Commission at $12.2 million. The company has worked with 87 distinct federal agencies, indicating broad market penetration rather than concentration risk around any single customer.

Deaf Access Solutions places most work through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (333 task orders, $133.2 million combined potential value), supplemented by the Professional Services Schedule (163 task orders, $14.3 million), and several agency-specific Indefinite Delivery Contracts and BPAs. Named IDV positions include a $15 million Department of State Bureau of Human Resources indefinite delivery contract (active through March 2028) for sign language services at unclassified through Top Secret/SCI classification levels, a $4.88 million Securities and Exchange Commission single-award BPA (ceiling through July 2027), a $20.93 million Environmental Protection Agency delivery order for agency-wide interpreting services (through December 2030), and a $2.95 million USCIS Zone 2 BPA (through December 2027). Representative task orders include a $11.75 million Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services delivery order for sign language interpretation services through August 2029, a $557 thousand National Institute of Food and Agriculture delivery order through July 2030, and a $440 thousand Department of State sign language services delivery order.

Activity has declined over the past three years—23 awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, 8 in 2024—though 2025 saw an uptick to 11 awards and 2026 shows early signs of recompete activity with four awards in the first half. Eighteen awards carrying $17.4 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, positioning the company for recompete opportunities across USCIS field offices, FEMA regional services, and SEC interpreter positions.

Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, Deaf Access Solutions invoiced $12.7 million in total federal revenue from FY2022 through FY2024, with steady growth: $3.5 million (FY2022, 19.5 FTEs), $4.4 million (FY2023, 24.8 FTEs), and $4.9 million (FY2024, 28.5 FTEs). On SCI-reportable contracts, the vendor maintains a self-perform delivery model with zero subcontractor engagement (0% sub-hours share), suggesting direct staffing of interpreters and technical support personnel. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts run around a median of $83.65 per hour, ranging from a 10th percentile of $72.08 per hour to a 90th percentile of $139.79 per hour, positioning the company in the moderate-to-mid-range tier of federal interpreter services pricing. The company registered with System for Award Management in February 2013 and has maintained consistent federal contracting presence across civilian and defense agencies ever since, with classification-capable delivery (unclassified through TS/SCI) a documented strength across State Department and defense work.
