UNSPSC 82112055: In person spanish interpretation service

Spanish language interpretation services

UNSPSC 82112055 In-person Spanish interpretation service is a Commodity code capturing professional translation and interpretation services that state and local governments buy to remove language barriers across health care, education, courts, emergency operations, and social services. The work spans in-person consecutive and simultaneous interpretation, video remote interpreting (VRI), over-the-phone interpretation (OPI), American Sign Language (ASL) services, document translation, and specialized accessibility modalities such as Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), certified deaf interpreters, and tactile interpreting. The code sees sustained demand across health plans and Medicaid programs, school districts (general education, special education, and deaf/hard-of-hearing support), county departments, municipal agencies, transit and emergency management, and state health and human services departments. Issuing bodies span state health agencies (Mississippi State Department of Health), county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center), large urban school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Tacoma Public Schools), regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Harris County Department of Education via Choice Partners; Sacramento County via SCoPA), counties supporting multiple departments (Montgomery County Pennsylvania; Wake County North Carolina; Denton County Texas), and special-purpose districts (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center). Repeat solicitation activity appears strongest among school districts, which consistently procure both general-purpose interpreter pools and specialized ASL services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

Recent opportunities show heavy geographic concentration in Texas (Katy ISD multiple RFPs, Austin ISD, Denton County, Collin County, Eanes ISD), Georgia (Fulton County Schools, Forsyth County Schools, Columbia County, Muscogee County), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Tacoma Public Schools), and California (San Mateo Medical Center, Sacramento County). Activity is also present in Oregon (CareOregon), North Carolina (Wake County), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), New Jersey (Department of Treasury), and Mississippi (State Department of Health). CareOregon issued RFP 2026-05 for health care interpreter services across Oregon and affiliated areas (14,000 monthly in-person appointments, 7,000 telephonic, 1,600 video remote) with Spanish, Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian, Somali, Vietnamese, and other Tier 1 languages, proposals due August 11, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted RFP 26041-DST for sign language interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students across 235 schools, estimated annual budget $950,000, proposals due April 15, 2026. San Mateo Medical Center solicited language services through RFP 66000-2425-195 (estimated budget $2.23 million, five-year term) with 24/7 US-based interpreters in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Russian, and ASL, originally due April 9, 2025 but reposted. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP001 for multi-vendor translation, interpretation, and ASL services across campuses, proposals due March 10, 2026 (note: one field shows 2025, but posting date and other context indicate 2026). Montgomery County Pennsylvania issued RFP 26-01 for 24/7/365 language access across 200+ languages with OPI, VRI, in-person, and document translation, proposals due May 22, 2026. Activity is current and substantial, with school districts and health systems dominating the customer base and demand centered on Spanish, ASL, and high-volume languages spoken by refugee and immigrant populations in major metropolitan regions.
