UNSPSC 82112040: In person native american interpretation service

Native American language interpretation services

UNSPSC 82112040 In person native american interpretation service is a Commodity code that misidentifies its scope — recent state and local solicitations under this code fund professional language interpretation and translation services broadly, not Native American interpretation specifically. State and local governments procure in-person interpreting, over-the-phone interpretation (OPI), video remote interpretation (VRI), document translation, American Sign Language (ASL) services, and specialized modalities such as certified deaf interpreting, real-time captioning, and tactile interpreting to support healthcare delivery, K-12 and higher education instruction, emergency operations, and general government access across multiple languages. School districts dominate the recent activity, pursuing sign language and speech-language pathology services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students; health systems and county departments seek multilingual interpretation to serve non-English-proficient populations in clinical, legal, and social service settings. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Katy ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Forsyth County Schools, Eanes ISD), county governments (San Mateo County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Denton County Texas, Wake County North Carolina, Muscogee County Schools Georgia), state health and human services departments (Mississippi State Department of Health, State of Georgia DHS), and public health systems (CareOregon, San Mateo Medical Center, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center).

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Mississippi, with activity spanning late February through August 2026. Representative procurements include CareOregon's RFP 2026-05 for healthcare interpreter services across in-person, telephonic, and video modalities (response due August 11, 2026); Katy ISD's paired RFPs for sign language interpreting services (RFP #2518YT, due July 8, 2026) and educational interpreting services (RFP #2519YT, due August 3, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students across 235 schools (due April 15, 2026, estimated annual budget $950,000); Montgomery County Pennsylvania's RFP 26-01 for language access services including OPI in over 200 languages and ASL (due May 22, 2026); and Austin ISD's RFP 27RFP001 for translation, interpretation, transcription, and ASL services with 24/7 OPI availability and SSO integration (due March 10, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, pricing is structured by service modality and language tier, and issuing bodies commonly seek multiple award vendors without guaranteed minimum volumes. Many solicitations encourage or require participation from small, minority-owned, women-owned, or historically underutilized business (HUB) vendors, and all demand current professional certifications (RID, BEI, state licensure, TJBCC or equivalent), background screening, FERPA and HIPAA compliance, and comprehensive liability insurance.
