Certified GSA Schedule Holder - NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement 40-00000-24-00076AJ
- GSA Schedule Holder - NASPO ValuePoint Contract Holder - Trusted by State & Federal Agencies - Serving Major U.S. School Districts
What is NASPO ValuePoint?
NASPO ValuePoint is the cooperative contracting arm of the National Association of State Procurement Officials. It runs competitive, multi-state solicitations and awards master agreements that states, cities, counties, school districts, and other public entities can use directly — getting best-value pricing without running their own bid process.
A full solicitation costs months you don't have
Running an independent RFP for translation services means drafting, posting, evaluating, and protest-proofing a procurement — often six months or more of staff time — for a service you need this quarter. Meanwhile, language-access obligations under Title VI don't pause while procurement catches up.
The competitive work is already done
Taika Translations completed NASPO ValuePoint's stringent, standardized multi-state solicitation and was awarded a master agreement for document translation. Your entity leverages the collective buying power of multiple states — best-value pricing, pre-negotiated terms, and a vendor already vetted for exactly this work. Taika serves public entities nationwide on this contract and its GSA Schedule, from our home base in Austin, Texas.
How to buy through the contract

Confirm eligibility
State agencies, political subdivisions (cities, counties, districts), K-12 and higher education, and many quasi-governmental and nonprofit entities can use NASPO ValuePoint.
-
Execute a Participating Addendum
Your state or entity signs a Participating Addendum (PA) referencing Master Agreement 40-00000-24-00076AJ — we'll walk your procurement team through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can use the NASPO ValuePoint document translation contract?
State departments, agencies, and institutions; political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and special districts; educational institutions including K-12 districts, community colleges, and universities; and other eligible entities, including some quasi-governmental and nonprofit organizations. To use the contract, your entity executes a Participating Addendum.
What is a Participating Addendum?
A Participating Addendum (PA) is the agreement your state or entity signs to adopt a NASPO ValuePoint master agreement. Once a PA referencing Master Agreement 40-00000-24-00076AJ is in place, you order services by issuing a Purchase Order — no separate solicitation required.
What translation services are on the contract?
Standard and expedited document translation (tiered by word count and turnaround), specialized General Services, Medical, and Legal translation, hourly desktop publishing to format translated documents, editing and proofreading of existing translations, and rush service for compressed timelines.
Why use a cooperative contract instead of our own RFP?
The NASPO ValuePoint contract is the result of a competitive, multi-state solicitation, so your organization gets best-value pricing and a compliant procurement trail without spending months running a repetitive bid process.
Do government agencies get special pricing?
Government agencies purchasing through the NASPO ValuePoint contract may qualify for a special rate on our language services — contact our contract team with your entity type and expected volume.
Is Taika experienced with government accessibility requirements?
Yes — Taika's team works to Section 508, WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2, and ADA standards, so translated deliverables that must also be accessible (public notices, web content, PDFs) are produced accordingly.
