Technical acceptability requires (i) a minimum of five years’ ASL interpreting experience, (ii) submission of interpreters’ degrees, résumés, and a remediation process to ensure quality, and (iii) at least two past‑performance references for ASL services performed within the last five years, documented with agency name, location, contract details, point‑of‑contact, and value. Offerors must provide a Technical Capability Evaluation Approach not exceeding ten pages. The contract includes two line items: (1) on‑site interpretation (approximately five hours per week, seven‑hour days, Monday‑Friday, schedule to be determined) for a base year (06/11/2026 – 06/10/2027) with an option year (06/11/2027 – 06/10/2028); and (2) unscheduled/emergency interpretation, for which the contractor must be able to provide an in‑person interpreter on‑site within two hours of a request, billed at the actual hourly rate. Quotes are due by 12:00 p.m. EST on 25 Mar 2026 via email. Evaluation will be price‑based, with the lowest‑priced technically acceptable offer receiving the award; if the lowest is unacceptable, the next lowest will be considered.
