About this file
This document is an amendment to a Request for Quote (RFQ) for American Sign Language (ASL) Interpretation Services for the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) U.S. Geological Survey. The RFQ has a total period of performance of 5 years, with an initial base year from 10/01/2024 to 09/30/2025 and subsequent option years.
The amendment provides questions and answers related to the RFQ, including clarification on the different Product/Service Codes and Descriptions between the base year and subsequent years, the anticipated date for scheduling services, the schedule for monthly meetings, and whether the certification requirement applies to the vendor or listed candidate. It also confirms this is a new requirement, not an incumbent contract, and indicates there is no set budget disclosed. The RFQ is a small business set-aside with the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer to be awarded.
