Saif Contracting And Commercial Service

Saif Contracting And Commercial Service, a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, provides English-Arabic interpretation and translation services exclusively to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint and no set-aside designations across its entire federal award portfolio.

The vendor operates under NAICS 541940 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC M24, delivering consecutive and simultaneous interpretation at diplomatic meetings and conferences, document translation between English and Gulf Arabic, audio-visual material translation, and interpretation support for U.S.-sponsored training programs for Saudi Arabian government personnel. Representative work includes a $127,435.86 delivery order from the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (April 2026) for interpretation services supporting U.S.-sponsored training courses for Saudi government personnel at Al Safarat in Riyadh; a $297,424.50 delivery order (September 2024) for interpreting services supporting American Embassy Riyadh operations through October 2025; and a $202,989.60 delivery order (April 2024) for interpreting services at the Embassy through September 2024. All work is performed directly by Saif Contracting personnel requiring native or native-level Gulf Arabic proficiency, professional training certifications, a minimum of three years of experience, and Saudi security clearance eligibility.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs accounts for 171 of 177 awards (96.6% of the portfolio) and $32.6 million of the combined $32.8 million potential value (99.4%). The remaining four awards spread across the United States Marine Corps ($149 thousand), the Defense Security Cooperation Agency ($33 thousand), and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security ($5 thousand). Award volume has remained relatively stable across the past five years, ranging from ten awards in 2026 (year-to-date) to 24 in 2022, with 177 total awards documented since first registering in SAM in August 2015.

Saif Contracting holds three primary indefinite delivery contract vehicles. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract 19GE5020D0027, a multiple-award vehicle with a ceiling of approximately $9.7 million and completion date October 31, 2026, under which 105 task orders worth $6.9 million have been issued for interpretation and translation services supporting U.S.-sponsored training courses. Indefinite Delivery Contract SGE50017D0031 carries 30 task orders valued at $1.7 million and focuses on English-to-Arabic interpretation and translation supporting U.S. Embassy operations in Saudi Arabia. A third IDC, 19GE5025D0128, carries 17 task orders valued at $501 thousand. The vendor also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $200,000 through May 2026 for worldwide certified translation and interpretation services. Combined potential value across all active contract vehicles reaches approximately $15.4 million. Recent activity includes a new multiple-award IDC (19GE5025R0110) awarded November 1, 2025, with a $9.7 million ceiling and completion date October 31, 2026, under which six delivery orders totaling approximately $126,834 have been issued as of the reporting period.

Obligated dollars ($11 million) represent 33 percent of combined potential value across the portfolio, indicating substantial execution velocity against the firm's contract vehicles. Saif Contracting competes entirely full-and-open (no set-asides) and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no documented sub-award activity. The vendor's footprint is geographically concentrated at Al Safarat in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with all documented performance in-country since 2015.
