About the company
Universe Technical Translation, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Houston, Texas, provides language interpretation, written translation, and American Sign Language services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive awards, competing without set-aside designation despite its WOSB certification.
The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated on a single agency. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services accounts for 3 awards carrying $203.1 million in combined potential value—95% of the vendor's total combined potential value across all awards. This concentration reflects Universe Technical Translation's dominant position on the Language and Interpretation Support Services IDIQ awarded by USCIS on September 19, 2025, a $200 million multiple-award vehicle running through September 18, 2030 and covering 61 languages with estimated demand of 13 to 23 million interpretation minutes annually. Two delivery orders under this IDIQ (one valued at $2.14 million through September 18, 2026, and another at $1 million for the Refugee, Asylum, International Operations Directorate running September 19, 2026, through September 18, 2027) represent the bulk of near-term work. The Defense Health Agency places smaller orders totaling $242 thousand for on-site interpretation and translation support at Army medical facilities (Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas, and Weed Army Community Hospital at Fort Irwin, California). The vendor also holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract with a $500 thousand ceiling (through August 28, 2030), enabling task orders from civilian agencies, and maintains a subcontractor relationship with KBR Services, LLC, on language translation tasks under the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program V.
Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, with six awards placed that year following a years-long hiatus. The vendor's federal contracting presence extends back to 1997, but the portfolio is dominated by recent work. Only one award (a $1 million USCIS delivery order) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. The SCI dataset captured one prime record in FY2025 reflecting 0.4 FTEs but showing zero invoiced revenue, indicating the contract was not yet in billing status at the time of SCI reporting. Across its prime contracts, Universe Technical Translation does not engage subcontractors—the sub-hours share is 0% on SCI-reportable work. The vendor's 17% sub-award footprint (two named subs) reflects incremental funding modifications to KBR Services language translation work rather than active subcontracting relationships.
