Contract 18222 Summary
This document comprises five amendments to Contract No. 18222, an indefinite delivery vehicle for spoken language interpreter services between the State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services and Northwest Interpreters, Inc. dba NWI Global, a Washington profit corporation. The original contract became effective December 11, 2023, and the amendments were executed between April 2024 and February 2026. The contract covers interpreter services for the state's Institutions for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (IPI), Office of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (OPI), and Vocational Rehabilitation (VRI) programs across all state regions on a non-collective bargaining unit basis.
The contract provides three modalities of interpretation services: in-person interpretation (IPI), over-the-phone interpretation (OPI), and video remote interpretation (VRI) for 57 primary languages plus all other unlisted languages. Pricing is tiered by language group and region, with the most recent amendment (December 2025) establishing rates ranging from $76.86 to $121.41 per hour for IPI services based on language classification and geographic location; OPI and VRI services are billed at per-minute rates with 30-minute minimums. Key terms include 48-hour advance notice requirements for pre-scheduled appointments, 2-hour minimum compensation for in-person services, rush appointment premiums, cancellation penalties (1-2% of quoted rates for contractor cancellations, up to 7 hours billing for purchaser cancellations with less than 48-hour notice), and nondiscrimination and pay equity provisions required by Washington State Legislature. Pricing includes economic price adjustments based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics PPI index, with a 7.0% adjustment applied in the most recent amendment.
