Linguasource Inc.

Linguasource Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Washington, DC, delivers professional translation, interpretation, localization, and language training services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on blanket purchase agreements with the Department of State. The company competes on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis across all recent awards.

Linguasource's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within State Department language services. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 124 of 130 total awards (95% by count, $1.1 million of $1.2 million combined potential value), with five additional State Department awards and a single $63,282 purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no sub-award activity appears in the source data. Work is performed at the contractor's Washington, DC location and supports the Bureau's diplomatic activities, policy initiatives, global operations, bilateral meetings, human rights reporting, migration briefings, technical exchanges with foreign governments, and international engagement programs.

Representative recent prime work includes a $250,000 multiple-award BPA with the Bureau of Administration awarded October 1, 2024, running through September 30, 2026, under which 27 task orders have been issued to date ranging from $597 to $7,761 ceiling values per call. An earlier $150,000 multiple-award BPA with the same agency (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024) supported similar language services with individual task orders ranging from $800 to $6,000. Linguasource also held a $100,000 BPA with the Bureau of Administration from October 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022, which funded task orders spanning human rights reporting translation, trafficking-in-persons interpretation, Peace Corps language support ($15,646), and bilateral meeting interpretation.

Vehicle position is concentrated across five overlapping multiple-award BPAs with the Department of State Bureau of Administration, all using the same contract vehicle designation prefix (190PRL) with annual award cycles: the current BPA 190PRL25A0279 (33 task orders, $73 thousand combined value, October 2024–September 2026); BPA 190PRL24A0279 (34 task orders, $85 thousand); BPA 190PRL23A0279 (23 task orders, $60 thousand); BPA 190PRL22A0279 (13 task orders, $49 thousand); and BPA 190PRL21A0279 (10 task orders, $31 thousand). This rotating BPA structure enables the Bureau to maintain continuous access to Linguasource's language capabilities on an as-needed basis.

Activity shows strong growth from 2021 through 2023 (17 to 35 awards annually), followed by a decline to 29 awards in 2024 and 5 awards year-to-date in 2025. The vendor's combined potential value across all 130 awards totals $1.2 million, with $503 thousand (44%) obligated to date. Award values are characteristically small ($597 to $15,646 ceiling per call), reflecting the task-order structure of Department of State language services procurement. Linguasource holds no parent contract vehicles, does not subcontract, and maintains no identified teaming relationships. The company's NAICS profile is 541800 (Translation and Interpretation Services), with 129 of 130 awards coded to that category and 1 to professional witness services.
