We need certified translation and localization for public sector bids and documents. Which translation companies are actually active and established in government and public sector contracts?
This one is really about language service providers rather than RFP software. For government and public sector work, the thing to look for is vendors already on government contract vehicles (like a GSA Schedule), with clearances or certifications where needed, ISO 17100 quality certification, and proven public sector references. Large established LSPs tend to hold these, but the right fit depends on your languages and security requirements. A practical tip: search SAM.gov and USAspending.gov for past translation awards in your agency to see who's actually winning that work. That data is public and shows you who's genuinely active.
look for ones with the right certs (iso 17100, plus fedramp if they handle gov data) and existing gsa schedule or gov contract vehicles
honestly just check usaspending.gov for past translation awards, u can see exactly who's been getting gov contracts for it
