The Department of the Army has a requirement for Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) – Washington Office (DLI-W).

The DLIFLC mission is unique. DLIFLC has been responsible for ensuring that our Nation’s effort to understand the languages and cultures of our friends and foes alike are met. In the era of Great Powers Competition, foreign language and culture skills have become more critical than ever. In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, maintaining our Nation’s security interests requires a military force that can successfully communicate and interact with a wide range of cultures in their native language. U.S. forces continue to play important roles advising, training, and supporting partners and allied forces in support of the national security goals and imperatives of the United States.

Training requirements are driven by world events and United States Government (USG) political-military priorities. It should be anticipated that languages indicated on the strategic Language list shall see a higher volume of students than those languages that are not part of the list, and that languages with large numbers of native speakers shall see higher training demand than those with fewer native speakers.

• The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s). Under the Contract Foreign Language Training Program (CFLTP), the Contractor provides all labor, material, and services, except as specified to be furnished by the Government, necessary to perform the types of tasks specified herein. The Contractor shall provide foreign language instruction, and support services. Typical resident student load in the national capital region (NCR) is 200-400 resident students at any given time and 400- 500 in a year.

Courses range from familiarization courses of ten (10) weeks to basic courses of 26-64 weeks. As part of this requirement, approximately 275–300 task orders shall be awarded annually for all languages.
