Ets. Acess

Ets. Acess is a sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov based in Niamey, Niger, specializing in linguist and interpreter services for the U.S. federal government. The company, formally known as ETS African Cutting-Edge Services, focuses on providing translation and interpreter capabilities, primarily between English and Swahili, to support U.S. military operations in Africa. The business is a for-profit organization that has established itself as a critical language service provider for the United States Africa Command area of responsibility.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contract awards exclusively from the United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa component, focusing specifically on linguist and interpreter services. These contracts have been primarily centered on translation between English and Swahili, with performance locations in Niger and Kenya. The contract awards have consistently been issued without specific set-aside designations, indicating the company competes openly in the federal contracting marketplace. All federal contract awards to date have been firm-fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts, demonstrating the company's specialized approach to providing language support services to U.S. military operations in the African region.

Ets. Acess currently holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDV) vehicles, both awarded by the Air Forces Europe and Africa. The first IDV is a single-award BPA with a $500,000.00 ceiling value running through April 30, 2027, focused on linguist services translating between English and Swahili. The second IDV is another single-award BPA valued at $250,000.00 with a performance period through March 31, 2027, dedicated to interpreter services. These IDVs provide a framework for issuing task orders on a firm-fixed price basis, enabling the Department of the Air Force to procure language support services efficiently across its Africa Command area of responsibility. Under these vehicles, the company has already received specific task orders, including one with a $17,784.00 ceiling for translation services in Kenya and another for interpreter services in Niger.
