Fis-Das Interpreting Services

Fis-Das Interpreting Services, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, delivers American Sign Language interpretation, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), closed captioning, and video remote interpreting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor under competitive and sole-source 8(a) set-asides. The firm operates 100% as a prime across its federal portfolio with no subcontractor engagement, self-performing all work.

Fis-Das operates within a highly concentrated customer base anchored by the Social Security Administration. SSA accounts for 18 of 20 total awards (100% of coverage) valued at $40.7 million combined potential value; the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer accounts for the remaining 2 awards valued at $5.8 million. The customer concentration is complete — only two federal agencies. SSA's dominant position reflects Fis-Das's core business model: disability access and reasonable accommodations for deaf and hard of hearing federal employees and program participants.

Fis-Das holds a single-award $19.25 million IDIQ with SSA (contract 28321322D00060019, awarded June 10, 2022 under Competitive 8(a), completion through September 29, 2027), from which 17 task orders have been issued totaling $21.5 million in combined potential value. Task orders under this vehicle range from individual accommodation assignments under $40,000 to multi-million-dollar annual rapid-response and daily-operations orders. Recent representative task orders include a $4.39 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order issued September 25, 2026 (through September 29, 2027), a $4.30 million Competitive 8(a) order issued September 25, 2025 (Baltimore, MD), and a $4.34 million no-set-aside order issued September 10, 2024 for September 30, 2024 through September 29, 2025 performance. Outside the SSA IDIQ, Fis-Das holds a $4.40 million HUD headquarters interpreter services contract awarded March 10, 2022 under 8(a) Sole Source (administratively transferred to GSA under Executive Order 14240, completion March 9, 2027) and a $1.44 million HUD definitive contract modification (November 10, 2025, completion March 9, 2027).

Activity has contracted year over year following initial deployment: seven awards in 2022, nine in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. The source reflects 5 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carrying combined potential value of $14.2 million, representing recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing across prime contracts shows growth from $3.7 million in FY2023 across 12.9 FTEs, to $5.1 million in FY2024 across 30.8 FTEs, to $5.5 million in FY2025 across 34.0 FTEs. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI-reportable work run approximately $85.29/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $247.84/hr at the 90th percentile. Fis-Das performs all work in-house — across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the average sub-hours share is zero percent, indicating no subcontractor leverage.
