About the company
TBW Global LLC's TBW Global Division, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in New York City, provides translation, interpretation, language instruction, and administrative support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 100 full-and-open (no set-aside) awards. The vendor competes exclusively in unrestricted competitions with no SBA designations, serving fifteen distinct federal agencies across language services spanning 300-plus language combinations and regional expertise in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
Customer concentration skews heavily toward defense and State Department linguistics work. The top five agencies by combined potential value account for 98 percent of awards: the Department of the Army European Command leads with 13 awards worth $16.4 million, the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command follows with 32 awards worth $7.6 million (volume leader), the Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs holds 23 awards worth $4.4 million, the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance carries a single $2.2 million IDV, and the Department of State US Embassy Mexico holds one $320 thousand award. The mismatch between award count and dollar concentration reflects the portfolio's composition: Navy and Near Eastern Affairs issue numerous small task orders for tactical translation work, while Army European Command anchors the highest-value single awards. Recent work exemplifies the footprint: a $2.067 thousand delivery order from State Department Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs for linguistic support in Lebanon (January 2026), a $17.7 thousand Japanese translation task order from Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command for safety manual localization (September 2022), and a $2.196 million Justice Department IDV for language and administrative support at the US Embassy Riyadh through May 2025.
Activity has contracted year over year—fourteen awards in 2022 down to nine in 2025, with only two awards recorded in 2026 as of late January. The vendor holds five primary indefinite delivery vehicles: IDV 19LE2020D0002 (State Department) with 37 task orders, IDV N3319117D1226 (Navy) with 19 task orders, IDV N4008421D0058 (Navy) with 12 task orders, IDV W912PB18D3016 (Army) with 12 task orders at $4.9 million combined potential value, and IDV 19GE5020D0028 (State Department) with 6 task orders. The category footprint splits cleanly: 46 awards under NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC code 6049 (Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting), 39 awards under NAICS 611630 (Language Schools) and PSC code 6210 (Support—Professional: Communications), and smaller volumes in consulting and education-training categories. Combined potential value across all 100 awards sits at $31.7 million with $5.8 million obligated (18 percent execution rate), indicating a portfolio of option years and task orders in early-to-mid performance cycles. TBW Global was established in 2015 and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no recorded subcontract relationships or sub-award activity in the source portfolio.
