This is a Request Form for Community Business Enterprise (CBE) participation related to the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department's On Demand Interpretation and Translation Services Master Agreement. The document establishes requirements and certification procedures for interpretation and translation service providers seeking to qualify as CBE vendors. The procurement seeks to increase the availability and quality of spoken and signed interpreter services, expand document translation capabilities, provide County Departments access to multiple languages, and ensure quality of outsourced language access services. The form captures vendor information, certification status, service capabilities across various language pairs, and commitment to CBE participation standards. Bidders must demonstrate their qualification to provide on-demand interpretation and translation services across the range of languages required by Los Angeles County departments.

The CBE Request Form requires vendors to document their minority, women, and disabled veteran business enterprise status and certifications as applicable. Vendors must detail their service delivery capabilities, including languages offered, interpretation modalities (consecutive, simultaneous, sight translation), translation services (document types and specializations), and quality assurance procedures. The form serves as a qualification screening mechanism to identify eligible service providers who meet the County's diversity and inclusion objectives while maintaining service quality standards. Completion and submission of this form is mandatory for vendors seeking to participate in the Master Agreement procurement and compete for on-demand interpretation and translation service contracts with Los Angeles County.
