American Sign Language Services

The Defense Health Agency (HCD‑W) is issuing RFQ HT941026Q2020 for on‑site American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter services at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Guam. The contract will cover three line‑item requirements for the period May 2 2026 – May 1 2027 (and similarly for 2029‑2030): (1) provision of qualified ASL interpreters on an as‑needed basis (12 each‑event orders); (2) short‑notice requests with a minimum 48‑hour lead time (12 each‑event orders, billable at the contract rate); and (3) short‑notice cancellations made less than 36 hours before the event (one lot). Only ASL is required; no other signed languages, Certified Deaf Interpreters, team interpreting, or virtual‑interpreting (VRI) will be used. No security clearances, credentialing, or badging are required, and base access is sufficient. The award will be evaluated on total price (submitted on the Pricing Sheet in Attachment 1) and past performance (documented on Attachment 2 for three years of recent, relevant experience). This is a non‑small‑business, non‑personal services acquisition under the Department of War’s DLITE II Multiple‑Award Task Order; the contractor must furnish all labor, transportation, tools, and management needed to fulfill the Performance Work Statement (Attachment 3). Offers must be submitted in PDF format via email to eddie.l.franklin.civ@health.mil and merlinda.m.labaco.civ@health.mil no later than 8:00 p.m. EDT on 20 April 2026. Questions are due by 8:00 p.m. EDT on 15 April 2026 and will be posted on SAM.gov. Late submissions may be rejected, and offerors who previously submitted may withdraw and resubmit after the revised synopsis is posted on 22 April 2026.
