Translation and Interpretation Services

NAICS 541930 · Federal Contracts & Awards

USAspending.gov tags $143,606,675.02 to Translation And Interpretation Services (NAICS 541930) in fiscal year 2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 6.2% of the industry's $2,300,694,821.65 extract-wide total. The pair is language-services coding plus FY2026, not a language census and not cash already paid. 19,859 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2026 interpreter tally. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.

Key figures

  • USAspending records $143,606,675.02 in Translation And Interpretation Services FY2026 obligations (NAICS 541930).
  • That cell is 6.2% of the industry's $2,300,694,821.65 extract-wide total.
  • 19,859 is the industry extract award-record count, not a FY2026 interpreter census.
  • Obligations are not outlays; FEC donations do not fund this total.

Language-services dollars on the FY2026 stamp

NAICS 541930 and fiscal year 2026 share one yearlyTrend row. $143,606,675.02 is the obligation sum on that row. It is not the $2,300,694,821.65 all-year 541930 book, not every federal professional-services dollar in FY2026, and not an outlay. Written translation and spoken interpretation stay inside one Census code here; this packet does not split $143,606,675.02 between them or name firms.

A thick parent file of 19,859 award records makes a per-language or per-contract story tempting. Unique recipients are unpublished. Place-of-performance is unpublished. Correlation with hearing or document backlogs is not causation. The join is a NAICS-and-year tag only.

FY2026 against the 541930 extract-wide book

6.2% of $2,300,694,821.65 sits on FY2026. Other fiscal-year rows for NAICS 541930 remain other cells. Open /industries/541930/ for the industry hub without the year filter and /fiscal-years/2026/ for FY2026 spending without the 541930 filter. Those parents are not addends to $143,606,675.02.

Do not treat an early-year share as a forecast of a full FY2026 language-services budget. The source note warns that current-year figures can be incomplete. Cite obligations, not settled invoices. Other professional-services NAICS codes stay on their own ties.
