UNSPSC 82112013: In person creole interpretation service

Creole language interpretation services

UNSPSC 82112013 In person creole interpretation service is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy in-person sign language and spoken-language interpretation services under this code—primarily American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting for deaf and hard-of-hearing students and staff in K-12 educational settings, but also Spanish, Creole, and other language interpretation across health care, social services, court, and emergency operations. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county-level service agencies, with school districts posting the most frequent and highest-volume opportunities. The scope spans certified ASL interpretation for classroom instruction and extracurricular activities, spoken-language interpretation in medical and judicial settings, and emergency response interpreting; vendors typically staff pools of certified interpreters and respond to on-demand requests within one to two hours. Katy Independent School District (Texas) has posted multiple RFPs for educational interpreting and sign language services (RFP #2518YT due July 8, 2026, and RFP #2519YT due August 3, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited interpreting services for the deaf or hard-of-hearing (RFP 26041-DST, due April 15, 2026); both use evaluation criteria weighting experience and reputation alongside cost. School-district interpreting contracts typically require RID, BEI, or equivalent state certification, insurance of $1 million per occurrence, and 24/7 or extended-hours availability.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Texas, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina accounting for the bulk of posted opportunities. Beyond school districts, health systems and county service agencies solicit under the code: CareOregon (Oregon) sought health care interpreters for Medicaid members (RFP 2026-05, due August 11, 2026), covering Spanish, Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian, Somali, Vietnamese, and other languages across 14,000 monthly in-person appointments; San Mateo Medical Center (California) budgeted $2.23 million for language services including video and phone interpretation (RFP 66000-2425-195); and Denton County (Texas) issued an ITB for language and ASL services supporting emergency operations (ITB #25-2894, due April 23, 2026). The Mississippi State Department of Health procured comprehensive language access services statewide (IFB 1301-26-R-IFBD-00071, bids due July 1–2, 2026). Most contracts run one to two years with renewal options, and issuing bodies frequently indicate HUB, MBE, or small-business encouragement preferences. No minimum volume guarantees are typical; compensation structures vary by modality (hourly for in-person, per-minute for remote, per-word for translation).
