Prisma International, Inc.

Prisma International, Inc., a Minneapolis-based for-profit organization, provides foreign language translation, interpretation, transcription, and localization services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing predominantly in full and open competition on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

Prisma's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward disaster-response and emergency-management missions. The Federal Emergency Management Agency dominates the portfolio with 36 awards valued at $54 million in combined potential value (60% of the top customers' dollars), driven primarily by recurring BPA calls under the vendor's single-award $50 million FEMA Language Services BPA established in August 2022 and running through August 2027. The Department of Commerce US Census Bureau ranks second with 18 awards at $11.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Homeland Security's US Citizenship and Immigration Services (4 awards, $3.8 million), US Customs and Border Protection, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Air Force Materiel Command. These five agencies account for 82% of recent award count and 94% of combined potential value. Within the FEMA portfolio, Prisma executes rapid-cycle task orders for disaster-specific translation support—written translation, over-the-phone interpretation, and video remote interpretation—across regions and disaster declarations, with recent examples including $27.7 thousand for Typhoon Sinlaku response, $136.6 thousand for California wildfire survivors (DR-4856), and $289.9 thousand for Kentucky disaster operations (DR-4782/4804).

Prisma's vehicle position rests on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 116 task orders valued at $85.6 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds a $250,000 multiple-award Department of Air Force BPA for transcription services (99% accuracy standard for audio and video recordings, interviews, and pretext calls) expiring September 2028. Recent non-FEMA work includes a $1.4 million option-period exercise with US Citizenship and Immigration Services for foreign language translation services (extended through September 2028), a $1.5 million Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency translation services call (extended through September 2025), and a $1.3 million Air Force Materiel Command delivery order for foreign technical publication translation services through February 2027.

Activity accelerated from 6 awards in 2022 to 19 in 2024, then slowed to 7 in 2025 and 2 in the first four months of 2026. Seven awards (combined potential value $2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal federal service-contract footprint: SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $545 thousand in FY2023 and $2.5 million in FY2024 across fewer than one FTE in the latter year. SCI hourly rates span a wide range (10th percentile $22,725.59/hr, median $113,021.41/hr, 90th percentile $203,317.23/hr), reflecting task-order heterogeneity and potential data-quality artifacts; the vendor performs zero subcontract work on SCI-reportable prime contracts. The vendor holds one federal grant sub-award as a sub-recipient to Minnesota Department of Human Services for a Federal MH Block Grant (awarded June 2024). Prisma International is registered in SAM.gov since February 2010 and carries no reported SBA certifications.
