Language Service IDIQ

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is conducting market research to identify capable sources that can provide comprehensive, scalable, and fully accommodational language services under a potential Multiple-Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. The IDIQ is intended to accommodate evolving mission requirements and emerging technologies, including interpretation services, translation services, language access and accommodation services, technology-enabled language services, and specialized and mission-specific services. The contract will have a 12-month base period with four optional 12-month periods. The FBI seeks industry input regarding a contract vehicle capable of supporting any and all language services, without limitation as to modality, subject matter, language, geographic region, or operational environment. Some key points to consider include: • Interpretation services, including in-person, remote, and simultaneous interpretation • Translation services, including written document translation and technical subject matter translation • Language access and accommodation services, including support for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) • Technology-enabled language services, including machine translation integration and AI-assisted workflows • Specialized and mission-specific services, including rare language support and linguistic analysis and advisory services
