Can we order through our GSA Schedule?
Yes. Translation Excellence is a GSA contract holder under Schedule 47QRAA18D0031. You can order directly against the schedule or request a quote through GSA eBuy.
Do you accept the Government Purchase Card?
Yes. We accept the Government Purchase Card, which makes micro-purchases such as certified document translations fast and simple.
Which NAICS and PSC codes do you work under?
Our primary NAICS code is 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services). We are registered in SAM.gov under 14 NAICS codes and qualify as a small business under each, including 512191, 541430, 561410, 561492, 611430, 611630, 611699, 611710, 541611, 541690, 541715, 541990, 561990. Our PSC is R608, our UEI is LSEHC45NMB28, and our CAGE code is 68UD1.
Can you handle sensitive and controlled information?
Yes. Files move through an encrypted client portal, never open email. Every linguist is background-checked and under NDA, access is limited to the people assigned to your task order, and Secret and Top Secret cleared linguists are available for assignments that require a clearance. We follow your agency's handling instructions for For Official Use Only and Controlled Unclassified Information.
Do you team with prime contractors?
Yes. As an SBA 8(a) program graduate with federal past performance, we support primes as a subcontractor or teaming partner on IDIQs, MATOCs, and task orders, and we pursue prime awards and joint ventures.
Are your immigration translations accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every immigration document translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy that meets USCIS requirements for legal and administrative proceedings.
How do you make public messages culturally appropriate?
A linguist from the target community reviews tone, idiom, and imagery before release, so health alerts, outreach materials, and public notices read as if written for that audience, not translated for it.
How do you choose linguists for a task order?
We verify credentials and degrees, review past government assignments, test subject-matter knowledge, and confirm availability and clearance suitability before anyone is assigned to your program.
