JB Interpreting, LLC

JB Interpreting, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Fairfax Station, Virginia, provides American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting, Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART), and related accessibility services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related BPAs, with no set-aside designation across its portfolio.

JB Interpreting operates as a limited liability company structured for small-business delivery of specialized interpreting and communication-access services. The vendor competes full-and-open on GSA schedule vehicles — 29 task orders placed against the Multiple Award Schedule carry $7.5 million in combined potential value, and 20 task orders on the Professional Services Schedule account for $899 thousand. Labor categories span entry-level sign-language interpreting at $49.37 per hour (short-notice assignments, no experience or clearance required) through senior cleared roles at $98.74 per hour and specialized CART services at up to $199.49 per hour, with education requirements ranging from none to bachelor's degree and security-clearance offerings for cleared interpreters and senior cleared positions.

Customer concentration centers on Executive Office of the President entities and the Federal Communications Commission. The top five funding agencies account for 73% of awards by count. The Executive Office of the President Office of Administration anchors the volume with 11 awards valued at $1.1 million combined potential value, followed by the White House Office with 6 awards at $661 thousand. The Federal Communications Commission drives most of the dollars — three awards valued at $5.5 million combined potential value, with the largest a $3.31 million delivery order (August 1, 2026, concluding July 31, 2031) for interpreting and CART support services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board round out the active customer set. Award concentration by potential value skews toward a single GSA Federal Acquisition Service award of $15.7 million (likely the FCC delivery order), which represents 67% of the vendor's total combined potential value across 37 awards.

JB Interpreting's work centers on ASL interpreting and captioning for White House and executive office operations, deaf and hard-of-hearing accessibility services, and federal agency communications support. Representative prime awards include BPA calls with the Office of Administration ($124 thousand, May 2022 to October 2023), the White House Office ($42 thousand, November 2021 to December 2022), the U.S. Trade Representative ($48 thousand, July 2022 to April 2023), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (three smaller purchase orders under $1 thousand each). The vendor subcontracts minimally — one sub award to General Dynamics Information Technology for strategy and management consulting support reflects negligible sub activity, and the SCI dataset shows zero sub-hours engagement across prime contracts. Recent activity has been sparse; the source shows one award in 2026 against a pattern of 2–6 awards per year from 2019 through 2022. SCI-reportable invoicing on prime contracts from FY2022 through FY2025 reflects zero dollars, and the SCI dataset records only nominal FTE activity (0.9 FTEs in FY2025), indicating that most of JB Interpreting's work operates below the $150 thousand SCI reporting threshold or is structured as task orders that do not trigger SCI-reportable status. The vendor operates with minimal sub-team engagement — 97% of awards are prime awards, and sub-hours share across SCI prime contracts averages 0%, indicating JB Interpreting delivers interpreting services with its own staff rather than relying on subcontractor labor.
