The Language And Culture Institute LLC

Language And Culture Institute (The) LLC, doing business as LCC Institute, provides interpreting, translating, and symposium planning services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive BPA calls, with zero set-aside designations across its federal footprint. LCC Institute is a for-profit sole proprietorship headquartered in Washington, D.C., competing entirely outside SBA set-aside categories and delivering language services under NAICS 930110 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC code Y006 (Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting).

Customer concentration with LCC Institute is absolute. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 27 of 28 awards (100% coverage) and $859 thousand in combined potential value; a single additional award from the broader Department of State adds $10 thousand. The Bureau of Administration has held multiple blanket purchase agreements with LCC Institute since 2011, with successive IDV ceiling values scaling from $100 thousand in 2021 to $150 thousand in 2022 through 2024, and most recently $250 thousand through September 2025. The current BPA (190PRL25A0017) carries six task orders valued at $36 thousand in combined potential; the prior BPA (190PRL24A0017) generated eight task orders worth $18 thousand; and the 2018 vehicle (190PRL18A0017) carries a single task order at $55 thousand.

LCC Institute's award activity spiked in 2023 (nine awards) and contracted in 2024 (six awards) and 2025 (one award). Individual BPA call values typically range from $800 to $9,920, with one notable task order reaching $7,002 for USARCENT NCO Symposium support in 2021. Combined potential value across 28 awards totals $869 thousand, with only $219 thousand (25%) obligated to date. One award carrying $10 thousand potential value completes within the next twenty-four months. LCC Institute has operated as a federal prime contractor since 2010, maintains no subcontract footprint, and does not hold seats on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or GSA Schedules beyond the State Department BPAs.
