The solicitation number is 36C26024Q0864, and the NAICS code is 517810 with a small business size standard of $40M. The period of performance is from 09/05/24 to 09/30/24. The simplified acquisition procedure of FAR 13 will be used, and the award will be based on the lowest price quote. The solicitation is 100% set aside for small businesses. Key details include:

The solicitation requires closed captioning service for the online component of the event, allowing participants to access captions via a provided link. Participants can ask questions by dialing a code and speaking to a screener, who will then type the question for the host. Additional options like a video feed with closed captions and a post-event transcript are not included in the standard event. Quotes must be emailed to the point of contact, Amy Kuczajda, by 3 pm MST on 08/23/2024. No late quotes will be accepted.

DESCRIPTION

Questions in black and answers in red:

· Service Delivery: Could you provide more details on how the closed captioning service will be delivered during the event? Specifically, how will participants access the captions, and are there any specific platforms or tools required for this service? For example, could participants receive captions via SMS/MMS, or access a web link with a live transcription of the event?

By using a Link that we provide for every Event, Veterans are able to hear the Audio and see the Slide Show and Closed Captioning. They do need to install any programs to watch that, just click the Link and it will work for them.

· Participant Interaction: Additionally, could you clarify how participant interaction should be managed in relation to the closed captioning? For instance, should there be options for participants to ask questions or participate in surveys through the captioning interface?

Participants do not interact directly with Captioning unless they ask a Question Live (not recommended). Usually Participants ask Questions by dialing a certain code on their phones which moves them to a Screening Room where they ask the Question to a Screener that then types it out to the Host on the Platform.

The below are an Add-On Feature and not included in a Standard VA Event.

1. A video feed with closed captioning. Yes, Closed Captioning appears on the Online Component alone. It is not a Video Feed, but more of a PC Screen with a Power Point Slide Show on it.

2. A transcript of the event after the event concludes, Yes, a Transcription of the Audio which is the same on the Phone and Online Components.

3. A TDD transcription of the call in real time during the call. Closed Captioning only to be seen on the Online Component alone.
