UNSPSC 82112050: In person samoan interpretation service

Samoan language interpretation services

UNSPSC 82112050 In person samoan interpretation service is a Commodity code that state and local governments are actually procuring as part of broader language access and interpretation service portfolios—not narrowly as Samoan-only services. Recent solicitations show that state and local agencies buy comprehensive interpretation across dozens of languages through health systems, school districts, counties, and special-purpose districts, bundling in-person interpretation with telephonic and video remote modalities, document translation, American Sign Language services, and specialized offerings such as certified deaf interpreters and real-time captioning. The mix of issuing bodies spans state health departments (Mississippi State Department of Health), county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center), school districts at the independent and regional cooperative level (Katy ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Eanes ISD, Forsyth County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Denton County), county social-service and emergency-management departments (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Sacramento County, Wake County North Carolina, Collin County Texas), transit and higher-education institutions (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center), and staffing intermediaries filling gaps in permanent interpreter rosters. Recent activity clusters heavily in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, with secondary activity across North Carolina, Mississippi, New York, and Colorado. Representative opportunities include CareOregon's RFP 2026-05 (posted July 13, 2026, due August 11, 2026) seeking health-care interpreters across in-person, telephonic, and video modalities across Oregon service areas with emphasis on Oregon-certified and qualified interpreters; Katy ISD's RFP #2518YT for sign-language interpreting and RFP #2519YT for educational interpreting (both due July 8 and August 3, 2026 respectively) covering the West 10 RDSPD Deaf Education Cooperative in Texas; and Harris County Department of Education's RFP for language access products and services through the Choice Partners cooperative (due April 9, 2026) spanning K–12 schools, higher education, and government entities nationwide with multiple modalities and professional development offerings.

The code shows robust activity: twenty-five substantive recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026, spanning IFBs, ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs, with response windows typically thirty to sixty days and contract terms commonly one to three years with renewal options. Procurement intent emphasizes certified or qualified interpreter credentials (RID, BEI, Oregon Health Authority, TJBCC, GaPSC, or state-equivalent), 24/7 or extended-hours availability including emergency coverage, response-time guarantees (often two hours or less), and compliance with HIPAA, FERPA, and ADA standards. Contract structures are predominantly as-needed with no guaranteed minimum volumes but often multi-vendor awards and cooperative purchasing provisions enabling secondary jurisdictions to adopt contracts. Pricing is typically tiered by language (Tier 1 high-demand, Tier 2 all others), service modality (on-site, telephonic, video), and certification level, with rates commonly per-hour, per-minute, or per-word depending on service type. No incumbent vendors or budget ceilings are universally disclosed, but several opportunities name estimated annual spend ($2.23 million San Mateo; $950,000 Hillsborough County sign-language interpreting; $11.64 million Hillsborough speech-language pathology and related services) and some include HUB, MBE, WBE, or SBE preferences or encouragement. Activity is decidedly healthy for vendors with capacity to deploy interpreters across multiple languages, modalities, and settings and to manage compliance, quality assurance, and surge staffing requirements typical of shared-services health and education procurement.
