The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to provide on‑site American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VAMC (10701 East Boulevard, Cleveland, OH). Contractors must have a minimum of five years’ experience as ASL interpreters and will be required to staff 30 hours per week (approximately six hours per day, Monday‑Friday, 8:30 a.m.‑2:30 p.m., with possible schedule adjustments based on clinical demand). Services include interpretation for clinical encounters (30‑45 minutes each) and related team meetings. The base period runs from 11 Dec 2026 to 10 Dec 2027 with an option year, and all work must comply with FAR clauses 52.212‑1, 52.212‑2, and 52.212‑4(m); failure to meet quality expectations must be corrected within one calendar week or may result in termination for cause. Offers will be evaluated on technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical capability and past performance weighted equally to price. The contract will be awarded to the lowest‑priced technically acceptable offer; if the lowest price is unacceptable, the next lowest will be considered. Offerors must submit a Technical Capability Evaluation Approach (max 10 pages) and acknowledge receipt of any amendments. Small businesses are encouraged to seek assistance from a PTAC, and invoices must be submitted electronically to the VA Financial Service Center in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act. AI‑based services or pilot programs are not being considered for this requirement.
