Common questions

Are you registered for federal procurement?

Yes. DUNS 130473444. NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services). SAM.gov-eligible. We can be added to most agency vendor lists with standard intake (typically 5–10 business days). Capability statement available on request, formatted for SF 330 intake.

Do you work under cooperative purchasing agreements?

Yes, depending on the cooperative. We hold contracting eligibility under several state cooperative purchasing programs and can be added to most cooperatives via the cooperative's standard onboarding process (typically 10–15 business days). For agencies that prefer direct contracting, that's also available in most states.

Can you handle CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information)?

Yes. CUI handling is available on request, with per-engagement Non-Disclosure Agreements, encrypted-at-rest data storage, access controls, and audit trails meeting your agency's CUI requirements. Background-checked linguist roster available for engagements requiring background checks; specific background check levels (NACI, MBI, BI) handled on a per-contract basis.

What languages do you cover for government work?

Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, Korean, Russian, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, French, Dari, Pashto, Somali, Swahili, Amharic, Burmese, Karen, Nepali, Punjabi, Urdu, ASL, and 30+ additional languages. We add coverage based on the LEP population data your agency provides at the start of the contract.

What's your typical contract structure with agencies?

Master service agreements with annual base + option years (typical federal IDIQ structure) or fixed-price annual contracts (typical for state and municipal). Per-engagement billing rolls up to the contract. Monthly invoicing with NET 30 terms. Volume discounts unlock at $50K and $150K annual spend thresholds.

Can you support proposal development?

Yes — if your agency is responding to a federal or state RFP that includes language services as a component, we can provide the language-services portion of the proposal narrative, past performance summaries, references, and pricing. We've supported prime contractors on multi-million-dollar federal proposals.
