Arabic/Hebrew Interpretation Services

The contract seeks qualified providers to deliver on-site or remote interpretation services between English and Arabic, as well as English and Hebrew, in support of U.S. government operations conducted in high-risk areas, with primary performance located in Jerusalem. Services must ensure accurate, real-time communication under demanding operational conditions, requiring interpreters with proven proficiency in both languages and familiarity with government-specific terminology and protocols. The work is structured as a subcontract, and the solicitation is under the NAICS code 611610, indicating it falls within educational support services, though the nature of the requirement clearly aligns with specialized language and security-oriented interpretation rather than traditional education. The solicitation opened on June 29, 2026, with responses due by August 16, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., providing a limited window for potential subcontractors to submit proposals. The contracting entity is the Department of State through its Acquisitions - Rpso Frankfurt office, indicating this is part of broader diplomatic or security mission support. No set-aside status is specified, suggesting the opportunity is open to all eligible entities regardless of size or socio-economic classification. Proposals must demonstrate capability to operate securely and effectively in politically sensitive and potentially dangerous environments, with interpreters expected to meet stringent security, clearance, and performance standards required by U.S. government operations in the region.
