Sign Language USA Inc.

Sign Language USA Inc., doing business as Sign Language USA LLC, is a Virginia Beach–based small business that provides American Sign Language interpreting and translation services to Department of Defense entities as a prime contractor across interpretation, accessibility, and defense healthcare missions. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards), competing primarily in full-and-open and small-business set-aside designations rather than in restricted competitive pools.

Sign Language USA Inc. specializes in on-site and remote ASL interpretation for deaf and hard of hearing students, patients, families, and staff at defense facilities. Its capability footprint centers on professional verbal and signed-language interpretation, ASL services, and linguistic document transcription and translation under NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services). Representative work includes a $228,586.50 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Health Agency, awarded January 22, 2024, for on-site language interpretation and translation services at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, running through September 30, 2025 and set aside for total small business; a series of $112,500 firm fixed-price delivery orders from the Department of Defense Education Activity for ASL interpreting services in support of DoDEA's educational programs at McLean and Alexandria, Virginia, including awards dated July 2021, August 2022, July 2023, and August 2024; and a $32,800 delivery order from DoDEA awarded February 16, 2026, under a larger single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $556,500 established in July 2020.

Customer concentration sits with defense-related agencies. The top five customers by award count and potential value together account for 77% and 98% of respective metrics, with the Department of Defense Education Activity dominating the footprint at 8 awards and $1.2 million combined potential value, followed by the Defense Health Agency (3 awards, $1.1 million) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Benefits Administration Headquarters (2 awards, $762 thousand). Sign Language USA Inc. sits on two parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HE125420D8000) carrying 7 task orders valued at $574 thousand and a Federal Supply Schedule (GS10F079AA) carrying 5 task orders valued at $810 thousand.

Activity is sparse but consistent — one award per year in recent cycles (2022–2026), with 22 total prime awards since 2009 carrying a combined potential value of $3.4 million and $2.4 million obligated. Only one award with an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months ($33 thousand potential value) faces near-term recompete. The vendor has not subcontracted on federal prime contracts and operates without sub-award footprint.
