Valiant wins $748M language services task order

Herndon-based defense contractor Valiant Integrated Services LLC will provide linguist and translation support to the U.S. Central Command under a $748 million task order with a ceiling value of up to $1.4 billion, the government contractor announced Thursday.

Under the contract, Valiant will provide comprehensive linguist and translation support in CENTCOM’s area of responsibility, a region that covers the Middle East, as well as supplementary support in the continental U.S. from CENTCOM’s Tampa, Florida-based headquarters.  The task order was awarded by the Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal/Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). CENTCOM is one of 11 unified combatant commands under the Department of Defense.

“Valiant is honored to continue our 10-year partnership with INSCOM by expanding our linguist support services to 19 CENTCOM countries in support of the U.S. and our partner nations,” Valiant CEO Dan Corbett said in a statement. “This award builds on Valiant’s successful strategy to expand and diversify our core markets and further expand our geographic footprint. We are proud to empower INSCOM’s critical missions by providing essential solutions against evolving global threats.”

Valiant’s 5,000 employees provide training, simulation, and readiness; mission and language support; advanced logistics and sustainment; intelligence and analysis solutions; global contingency and stability operations; and facility modernization, operations and maintenance to federal government clients, relief workers, global peacekeepers and disaster response teams. In addition to CENTCOM, Valiant provides language support in 17 other countries across U.S. Africa Command and U.S. European Command.
