About the company
Joyful Signing LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Accokeek, Maryland, provides American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting and Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) captioning services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontract work. The firm operates across full-and-open federal procurement with no set-aside designations on the vast majority of its awards, though it holds a woman-owned small business sole-source delivery order from the Department of the Army.
The company's customer concentration is extreme and represents material recompete exposure. The Smithsonian Institution accounts for 20 of 29 awards (69% by count) and $100.4 million of $101.8 million in combined potential value (99% of dollars). This concentration reflects Joyful Signing's dominant position under a $100 million single-award BPA with Smithsonian awarded September 18, 2023 (ultimate completion September 19, 2024, now expired in source time), which anchors the vast majority of the firm's federal footprint. Recent representative work includes a $13.5 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Smithsonian for FY2024 ASL interpreting services to the Office of Equal Employment and Special Services Division (awarded September 1, 2025, completion November 30, 2025), a $52,990.48 labor-hour purchase order for ASL interpreter services supporting the 2025 Smithsonian Folklife Festival (awarded and completed June 23, 2025), and a $74,430.00 firm fixed-price purchase order for ASL interpretation from English to ASL at Smithsonian facilities (awarded January 25, 2024). The Defense Health Agency represents the second customer, with 3 awards totaling $217 thousand under a $200 thousand multiple-award BPA effective through March 2029, which Joyful Signing places calls against for interpreter services.
Vehicle positioning centers on three IDVs: a new $1 ceiling multiple-award BPA with Smithsonian awarded February 20, 2026 (completion February 19, 2031), the Defense Health Agency BPA noted above, and a $1 million multiple-award GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (completion November 24, 2027) with hourly rates ranging from $87.78 to $199.50 depending on notice time and service specialization. The Federal Supply Schedule has generated 8 task orders totaling $300 thousand and provides all federal agencies government-wide access to Joyful Signing's services. Activity has declined from 7 awards in 2023 to 1 award year-to-date as of March 2026, driven by the expiration of the original $100 million Smithsonian BPA; only 2 awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $69 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure but significant customer dependency on Smithsonian renewal. Work is performed primarily in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, with services spanning on-demand ASL and CART support for federal events, programs, and administrative functions at cultural institutions and military healthcare facilities.
