UNSPSC 82112017: In person dinka interpretation service

Dinka (Sudan)language interpretation services

UNSPSC 82112017 In person dinka interpretation service is a Commodity code that covers on-site, in-person spoken language and sign language interpretation services used by state and local governments to meet communication access obligations across health care, education, and social service delivery. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus heavily on American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting for educational and health care settings, over-the-phone interpretation (OPI), video remote interpretation (VRI), and multilingual spoken language services in high-demand languages including Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, and refugee community languages such as Karen and Hmong. Issuing bodies span school districts, county health systems, state health and human services departments, and municipal governments seeking either single-vendor or multiple-vendor pools on an as-needed basis. Interpreters must typically hold state or national certification—RID, BEI, or EIPA credentials for sign language; Oregon Health Authority or state-level clinical certification for medical interpreters—and availability requirements commonly run 24/7/365, though educational settings often require standard business hours with some after-hours coverage.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Katy ISD, Collin County, Denton County, Austin ISD, Harris County), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, TTUHSC), Georgia (Muscogee County Schools, Columbia County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Forsyth County Schools), and large counties in California, North Carolina, and the Northeast. Representative recent solicitations include CareOregon's RFP 2026-05 (posted July 13, 2026, due August 11, 2026) seeking health care interpreter services across in-person, telephonic, and video modalities with monthly fill-rate targets and tiered language requirements; Katy ISD's RFP #2518YT (posted July 8, 2026, due July 8, 2026) for sign language interpreting services across a six-district cooperative serving deaf and hard-of-hearing students, with hourly rates for certified interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, and specialty services; and San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 66000-2425-195 (posted June 24, 2026) valued at $2.23 million over five years for comprehensive language services including 24/7 support, US-based interpreters, and video and phone modalities. The code also appears in broader special education and staffing RFPs (Tacoma Public Schools, Columbia County Schools) where interpreting is listed as one service among speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and other contracted specialties. Wake County, North Carolina's RFP #26-014 (posted February 23, 2026, due March 25, 2026) exemplifies municipal demand for comprehensive language services spanning OPI, VRI, on-site, and written translation across refugee languages and ASL. Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options up to five years cumulative; most awards are to multiple vendors with no guaranteed minimum volume. Set-asides for HUB, MBE, WBE, or small business status appear in several notices (Austin ISD, TTUHSC, Denton County).
