The contract, identified as 19-416CMS-BOSS4-P-8618, carries a total contract value of $90 and encompasses interpretation and transcription services. The awarded contract line item specifies Spanish-to-English and English-to-Spanish interpretation services with a two-hour minimum engagement, along with transcription services for Spanish language content derived from film, tape, or video recordings, also subject to a two-hour minimum billing requirement. The unit price established for these services is $45, with a quantity of two units ordered under this award.

This contract represents a professional services procurement by the Division of Home and Community Based Services to secure language access capabilities for beneficiaries requiring Spanish language interpretation and transcription support. The abbreviated performance period of approximately two weeks between award and completion dates suggests this may constitute a discrete project or pilot engagement rather than an ongoing service arrangement. The specific inclusion of transcription services from audiovisual media indicates the contracting organization anticipates converting recorded content into written Spanish-English materials to support program operations or client communications.
