What is Taika Translations' GSA contract number?

47QRAA18D00GT, held on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule under the Professional Services / Language Services category 541930. The current option period runs through September 25, 2028, with an ultimate contract end date of September 25, 2038. The record is public on GSA eLibrary under the legal entity name TAIKATRANSLATIONS LLC.

Most buyers under-use the category they are already ordering against

A contracting officer sees category 541930, reads 'Translation and Interpretation Services', and files it under documents. So the interpretation order goes on the Schedule and the ASL interpreters get sole-sourced somewhere else. The captioning goes out as a separate small purchase. The Section 508 language work gets its own solicitation. The event coordination gets treated as unschedulable. Weeks of procurement effort, several files, several vendors — for work that GSA's own published description of the category already covers, in writing, in words GSA chose. The cost of not reading the SIN description is measured in procurement cycles.

On the Schedule since before the vendors who market it harder

Taika Translations completed GSA's vetting and holds Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QRAA18D00GT under category 541930. GSA eLibrary lists us as a Small Business, a Veteran Owned Small Business, an SBA Certified Veteran Owned Small Business and an SBA Certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and records that we are not present on the Excluded Parties List System. We are one of the language-services contractors on that category listing — and we have been delivering the work since 2009: 102,000+ projects, 300+ languages, 2,000+ vetted linguists, a 5.0★ Google rating.

Ordering against the Schedule

  1. Check the record

    Open the eLibrary contractor record below and confirm the contract number, the category, the dates and the socio-economic status. It takes about a minute and no account.

  2. Send us the requirement, not a finished SOW

    Languages, services, volumes, deadline, and whether Section 508 conformance applies. We come back with a scope that maps to the category and tells you plainly if any part of it falls outside.

  3. Order

    For most requirements this is an order against a vehicle you already hold rather than a new procurement. Where competition is required, we respond through eBuy like anyone else.

What you get

  • A live Schedule contract with a long runway

    Option period through September 25, 2028; ultimate contract end September 25, 2038. Not a vehicle that expires mid-project.

  • Socio-economic credit on the same order

    Small Business, Veteran Owned Small Business, SBA Certified VOSB and SBA Certified Small Disadvantaged Business — as listed by GSA.

  • Disability access is inside the category

    GSA's description of 541930 names sign language services, closed captioning, Braille transcription, TDD/TTY, deaf and tactile interpreting, and Section 508 compliant language services.

  • So is coordination

    The category description includes logistical coordination, site supervision, quality control and programme management of the related services — which is why event coordination fits.

  • 300+ languages behind it

    2,000+ vetted linguists, 24/7 support, and the rare language pairs that most Schedule holders subcontract and hope.

  • Cleared and verifiable

    SAM.gov registered under UEI RHLDHERH8PG3, and eLibrary records no Excluded Parties List System match.

Our GSA record is public, so this page does two things: it shows you the record, and it points out the part of it that most buyers miss.

The record

Contract 47QRAA18D00GT, held by TAIKATRANSLATIONS LLC on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, in the Professional Services — Language Services category, awarded under 541930 plus OLM. Current option period end September 25, 2028; ultimate contract end September 25, 2038. SAM.gov UEI RHLDHERH8PG3. The full record, with the verification links, is in the table below.

The part buyers miss

Category 541930 is titled Translation and Interpretation Services, and that title does the contract a disservice. GSA’s own published description of the category runs considerably wider — and because it is GSA’s wording on GSA’s site, it is what a contracting officer can rely on.

It explicitly includes sign language services (ASL/English, Manually Coded English, Pidgin Signed English, Contact Sign, International Sign), deaf interpreting and tactile interpreting, closed captioning, transcription of Braille documents, cued English transliteration, TDD and TTY telephone services, and Section 508 compliant language services.

And it includes “logistical coordination; site supervision and quality control of all related services” along with related project and programme management.

That last clause is the one worth reading twice. It means the coordination of accessible and multilingual events — not just the interpreters, but the running of it — sits inside a category you may already be ordering against. Agencies routinely put that work through a separate procurement because the category title made them assume it was documents only.

What this does not cover

We would rather draw the line than let you find it at award. Standalone lodging negotiation and management is a separate GSA offering (SIN 561599L) that we do not hold. Our lodging and travel work is quoted directly, or bought under NAICS 721110 or 561510 — explained honestly on lodging and travel logistics for government.

Who this is for

  • Federal agencies ordering translation, interpretation or accessibility work on the Schedule
  • Contracting officers confirming a vendor's contract number, dates and status before award
  • Small-business specialists sourcing VOSB and SDB credit on language services
  • Programme staff who need ASL, CART or captioning and did not know it was schedulable
  • Agencies coordinating accessible or multilingual events who assumed it needed a new solicitation
  • Prime contractors qualifying a Schedule-holding subcontractor for a 508 deliverable

What ordering on the Schedule gets you

  1. A two-linguist translate-edit-proofread process on documents, not a single pass
  2. Interpreters and captioners matched to subject matter, not just to the language pair
  3. Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance verified with the tools auditors use, with documentation on request
  4. HIPAA-trained staff for health information and FERPA-compliant handling of education records
  5. One accountable vendor across language access and disability access, rather than two who blame each other

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GSA eLibrary?

GSA eLibrary is GSA's public source for contract award information — the authoritative place to look up a Schedule holder's contract number, awarded categories, contract dates, socio-economic status and exclusion status. It requires no account, and it is where a contracting officer will check a vendor before award. That is exactly why we link our record instead of describing it.

How do I find Taika Translations on eLibrary?

Search for the contract number 47QRAA18D00GT, or for the legal entity name as it appears on the record — TAIKATRANSLATIONS LLC, written as one word. Searching 'Taika Translations' with a space may not match the entity name on file. The direct link to the record is on this page.

When does the contract expire?

The current option period ends September 25, 2028, and the ultimate contract end date is September 25, 2038. For a multi-year programme that matters: you are not building a workflow on a vehicle that lapses next year.

What can we actually order under category 541930?

More than the title suggests. GSA's own published description of the category covers simultaneous, consecutive, escort, community and telephonic interpretation; sign language services including ASL/English, Manually Coded English, Pidgin Signed English, Contact Sign and International Sign; deaf interpreting and tactile interpreting; closed captioning; transcription of Braille documents; cued English transliteration; TDD and TTY telephone services; Section 508 compliant language services; website and online document translation with typesetting; and the logistical coordination, site supervision, quality control and programme management of those related services. The full list is on this page, quoted from GSA.

Does the Schedule cover accessible event coordination?

The language and accessibility services do, and so does their coordination — 'logistical coordination, site supervision and quality control of all related services' is GSA's phrasing, not ours. So ASL interpreters, CART, captioning, Braille materials and 508-conformant event documents, plus the coordination of them, fit the category. Standalone lodging negotiation does not; that is a different GSA offering we do not hold, and we say so on the government lodging page rather than letting you discover it at award.

Is OLM on the contract, and what is it for?

Yes — the record shows category 541930 plus OLM (Order-Level Materials). OLM lets supplies and services that are incidental to, and in support of, the main order be included at the order level rather than needing their own procurement. In practice it is what stops a small necessary item from becoming its own contracting action.

Do you also hold state and cooperative contracts?

Yes. NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement 40-00000-24-00076AJ covers participating states, and we hold BuyBoard and TIPS cooperative contracts plus IONWAVE registration. Several individual states have their own Taika contract vehicles — see Contracts We Hold.

Are your prices on eLibrary?

The eLibrary record links to the contract's Terms & Conditions and price list, which is where awarded Schedule pricing lives. For a specific requirement, send us the scope and you will get a quote against it — volumes, language pairs and turnaround change the answer enough that a figure quoted without them would be misleading.

Ready to order, or still checking?

Either is fine. Send a requirement for a scope, or open the eLibrary record and verify us first — we would rather you did.
