ETS Capif

ETS Capif is a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Sèmè-Kpodji, Benin, registered in SAM.gov since August 19, 2016, with an expiration date of December 26, 2026. The company specializes in providing language instruction services to the U.S. federal government, primarily supporting diplomatic operations and cultural exchange initiatives in West Africa. ETS Capif operates as a prime contractor delivering English, French, and local language teaching services exclusively to support the Department of State's personnel development and diplomatic objectives in the region.

ETS Capif has received multiple federal contract awards totaling over $275,000 from the Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs, with all awards issued as delivery orders under existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts rather than as standalone prime contracts. The company has provided English language teaching services through numerous delivery orders ranging from approximately $14,700 to $26,244, with completion dates spanning from January 2022 through June 2026. Additionally, ETS Capif has delivered French and local language instruction services through separate delivery orders valued between $18,152 and $23,566. All federal contract awards have been firm fixed-price delivery orders with no set-aside designations, indicating open market competition. ETS Capif operates exclusively as a prime contractor without utilizing subcontractors, and maintains a long-standing partnership with the Bureau of African Affairs dating back to at least 2021. The contract awards support the Bureau's language proficiency development programs, training of diplomatic staff, and cultural diplomacy initiatives throughout the African region.

ETS Capif currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with combined ceiling values exceeding $233,000 through 2030. Two IDCs are held with the Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs: a single-award IDC valued at $173,000 for English teaching services in Benin through January 10, 2026, and a separate single-award IDC for French and local language instruction services. A third IDC was recently awarded on July 1, 2025 by the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou for French and local language teaching services, valued at $60,000 and extending through June 30, 2030. These IDC vehicles enable the Department of State agencies to issue ongoing delivery orders to ETS Capif on an as-needed basis, facilitating continuous language training support for diplomatic personnel and exchange programs. The IDCs reflect the agency's reliance on ETS Capif as an established, specialized language services provider for West African operations and the company's recognized capacity to deliver high-quality instruction in multiple languages to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives in the region.
