Recent contract awards to Gheblawi Language Services have included a diverse array of language-related tasks. The company has provided Russian language services for countering foreign government narratives, Malay translation and interpretation, and updates to previous language service solicitations. These contracts, typically structured as firm-fixed-price BPA calls, have ranged in value from under $100 to over $9,000. All recent awards have been issued by the Department of State's Bureau of Administration without set-aside designations. The services are primarily performed in Washington, D.C., supporting the State Department's need for timely and accurate language assistance across its global operations.

Gheblawi Language Services holds multiple federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) in the form of Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Administration.
