About International Language Services, Inc.
International Language Services, Inc., a women-owned small business headquartered in New York City, provides translation, interpretation, transcription, and expert witness services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open and set-aside vehicles. The company holds SBA certifications as a certified women-owned small business, small disadvantaged business, and Hispanic American-owned enterprise, and competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements without relying on set-aside designations for the bulk of its prime footprint.
ILS specializes in document translation across more than 100 languages, real-time interpretation for legal proceedings, audio transcription, and expert witness support for complex litigation and administrative matters. The company has maintained an active federal contracting presence since 2001, with 199 total prime awards carrying combined potential value of $14.2 million and combined obligated dollars of $8.4 million. Recent work includes a $375.5 million delivery order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices (October 2024 through September 2027) for translation services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, a $779 thousand delivery order from the Eastern District of New York (August 2021 through August 2024 with two one-year option years) for interpretation, translation, and transcription services, and a $147 thousand purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices (June 2022 through May 2026) for expert witness and language services.
Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Justice. The U.S. Attorney's Offices account for 115 awards and $7.7 million in combined potential value, representing approximately 58% of all awards and 54% of total potential value across the footprint. The Internal Revenue Service (34 awards, $1 million), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (21 awards, $1 million), and Drug Enforcement Administration (5 awards, $99 thousand) round out the top four customer agencies and collectively account for 90% of recent awards. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second by potential value ($3 million across 2 awards) due to ILS's position as an IDV holder rather than by volume of task orders.
ILS maintains two primary federal contract vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (47QRAA22D004X), awarded January 27, 2022, carries a $500 thousand ceiling through January 26, 2027, and has generated 116 task orders totaling $7.1 million in combined potential value. The Professional Services Schedule has generated 23 task orders valued at $1.1 million. Additionally, ILS holds a Total Small Business set-aside Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, valued at $300 thousand (August 31, 2024 through August 30, 2029) anchored to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with two BPA calls issued to date totaling approximately $19.5 thousand.
Activity has remained steady with some volatility over the past five years — 18 awards in 2022, declining to 6 in 2023, then recovering to 11 in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 5 through early 2026. Sixteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $998 thousand and face recompete exposure. ILS's award portfolio is concentrated in translation and interpretation services (149 awards) and expert witness services (56 awards), with smaller volumes in transcription (15 awards) and legal consulting (11 awards). All work is performed at the company's New York headquarters or, for CSHIB engagements, in Washington, DC. As a pure prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, ILS does not serve as a sub to larger primes and does not manage significant sub-team relationships in federal contracting.
