Translation and on Demand Interpretation Services BPA

The U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar is issuing RFQ 19MG1026Q0006 to establish one or more Best‑Price‑Award (BPA) contracts for on‑demand interpretation and translation services. This women‑owned small business (WOSB) set‑aside solicitation requires offerors to submit a completed SF‑1449 (blocks 12, 17, 23, 24, 30) together with a detailed pricing table that lists normal‑hour rates, weekend/holiday multipliers, travel and per‑diem charges, and optional equipment costs. Offerors must demonstrate professional interpreter qualifications, relevant experience, a quality‑control and scheduling process, confidentiality/conflict‑of‑interest procedures, and provide CVs or profiles, references, and any volume‑discount terms. All quotations are to be submitted in English via email to Ulaanbaatar‑Procurement@state.gov by 16:00 Ulaanbaatar time on 17 April 2026, using MS‑Word/Excel 2007‑2010 or PDF files not exceeding 30 MB each, with the subject line “RFQ 19MG1026Q0006 Interpretation BPA [Offeror Name]”. Evaluation will consider the qualifications and experience of interpreters, ability to provide consecutive, simultaneous, and written translation services, the robustness of quality‑control and responsiveness, past performance, and the reasonableness and clarity of the pricing structure (including rates for out‑of‑hours, travel, and equipment). The contract is a DPAS‑rated order and incorporates multiple FAR and DOSAR provisions (e.g., whistleblower rights, SAM reporting). Successful awardees will become BPA holders for recurring interpretation and translation needs of the Embassy, though the issuance of this RFQ does not guarantee a contract award.
