The Florida Department of Children and Families has awarded a blanket purchase order (Contract No. C776F6) valued at $120,000 to a contractor for linguistic services supporting the North Florida Educational Training Consortium (NFETC). The contract period runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Services include interpretation in Spanish, Vietnamese, and other languages as needed, with a base rate of $85.00 per hour (minimum two hours per engagement), plus $10.00 per hour surcharge for services rendered outside normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM) or on holidays and weekends. After-hours interpretation services are available 24/7. No-shows and cancellations with less than 24 hours notice incur a $170.00 charge (two-hour minimum) plus applicable travel fees.

Additional services under this contract include written translations at $85.00 per page (minimum one page per document), fingerprinting or other non-interpretation services at $85.00 per hour minimum (billed in 15-minute increments thereafter), and transportation at $40.00 per day for use of personal vehicle. Remote services delivered via telephone or video are billed at standard rates equivalent to on-site interpretation. Three authorized personnel—Lavurnia Perkins, Jennifer Leslie, and Diana Nielsen—are designated to approve invoices and authorize purchases against this blanket order. The contract supersedes prior agreement C69A50.
