Master Translation Services Inc.

Master Translation Services Inc., headquartered in Huntington Woods, Michigan, provides document translation, website localization, and interpretation services to the U.S. Department of State as a full-and-open prime contractor, competing without set-aside designations across multiple-award blanket purchase agreements. The company operates exclusively as a prime on language services—73 awards across the past nine years, all to the Department of State Bureau of Administration, with a combined potential value of $956 thousand and $306 thousand obligated to date.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on professional translation and interpretation in Arabic, French, Spanish, and other strategic languages supporting State Department diplomatic programs, embassy operations, and administrative functions globally, with particular focus on the Middle East and North Africa. Representative work includes a $1,256.55 BPA call awarded October 1, 2025 for language services (ultimate completion January 16, 2026); a $8,661.34 task order awarded October 1, 2021 supporting translation services for Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Syria programs; a $7,306.49 call for Israel, West Bank, and Gaza translation support (completion June 30, 2022); and recurring work under the International Visitor Leadership Program digital library localization initiative. The vendor has maintained a continuous relationship with the Bureau of Administration since at least 2012, delivering task orders ranging from under $100 to roughly $7,600 per call, with firm fixed-price pricing across all awards.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 70 awards ($953 thousand combined potential value) and the broader Department of State for 3 additional awards ($3 thousand), representing 100 percent of the vendor's federal footprint. The vendor operates under five named multiple-award BPA vehicles established with one-year ordering periods: the current vehicle (BPA 190PRL25A0035, October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, $250 thousand ceiling) has generated 10 task orders; the prior-year vehicle (190PRL24A0035, 15 task orders, $36 thousand combined value) and the 2023 vehicle (190PRL23A0035, 18 task orders, $32 thousand combined value) anchor the vendor's recent activity. Earlier BPAs in 2022 and 2021 generated 12 and 5 task orders respectively. Activity has declined year over year from 19 awards in 2022 to 8 in 2024 and 3 in 2025, reflecting the episodic nature of State Department language procurement on rolling one-year BPA vehicles. Across the portfolio, $306 thousand has been obligated against $956 thousand in potential value, indicating task orders are awarded opportunistically rather than fully exercised.

The vendor competes in a full-and-open, non-set-aside posture across all 73 prime awards, with no subcontract activity and no IDV positions outside the State Department's language services BPAs. All work is classified under NAICS Translation and Interpretation Services and PSC Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting, with place of performance centered in Washington, D.C. and subordinate diplomatic and consular missions worldwide.
