The Florida Department of Health has awarded a blanket purchase order (Contract No. C77729) for interpreter services supporting the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program in Orange County, Florida. The contract, valued at $2,000.00, is effective from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The award provides on-demand interpreter services specifically for deaf clients accessing WIC Program services, with authorized users identified as John Marfisi and Didleidys Rodriguez.

The pricing structure establishes differentiated rates based on service type and timing. Standard assignments are billed at $70.00 per hour with a 2-hour minimum ($140.00), while evening (Monday-Friday, 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) and weekend services are charged at $75.00 per hour. Specialty services, including tactile, oral, trilingual, high visual, and Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI) modalities, command $85.00 per hour for standard assignments and $95.00 per hour for evening/weekend availability. Legal assignments (fair hearings and mediation) are priced at $100.00 and $120.00 per hour respectively for standard and evening/weekend services. An urgent request fee of $45.00 applies to same-day or next-business-day requests, while travel is reimbursed at $0.725 per mile. Cancellations within 25 hours of the scheduled service start time incur full charges; those cancelled with greater notice are non-billable.
