Ordering for South Dakota agencies

Order on a contract vehicle you already use.

Taika holds a NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement (40-00000-24-00076AJ) and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule (47QRAA18D00GT, NAICS 541930). NASPO ValuePoint agreements are used within a state through a Participating Addendum, and participation for one contract does not automatically extend to every contract — so rather than claim a specific path is active in South Dakota today, we confirm it with you directly.

Common questions

South Dakota language access FAQ

How can a South Dakota agency order Taika's services on a cooperative contract?

Taika Translations holds a NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement (40-00000-24-00076AJ) and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule (47QRAA18D00GT, NAICS 541930). Whether a specific cooperative path is in place for South Dakota depends on the agreement and any Participating Addendum — rather than assume a path is active, request a procurement consultation and Taika's government business development team will confirm the current status and the exact ordering steps for your agency.

Do you serve local governments and school districts in South Dakota, or only state agencies?

Both. Taika serves state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, healthcare organizations, and federally funded nonprofits across South Dakota — from Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Aberdeen to smaller communities statewide.

What languages and services are available?

Certified and standard translation, on-site and remote interpretation (phone, video, ASL, and CART), and accessibility services including Section 508 / WCAG remediation and accessible media — in 300+ languages.

How quickly can South Dakota agencies get a response?

Request a quote or procurement consultation and Taika's team responds promptly with the documentation your procurement file needs. On-demand phone interpretation is available around the clock.
