The attachment specifies 35 Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (IVRS) office locations and service units across the state where interpreting services will be required. Services will encompass both on-site and video remote interpreting (VRI) across four defined territories to serve deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in diverse settings including correctional institutions, vocational rehabilitation offices, and educational environments. The solicitation opened on August 23, 2025, with proposals due by September 12, 2025. The initial contract term runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with the state reserving renewal options for up to five additional annual extensions. The procurement anticipates potentially awarding multiple contracts to ensure comprehensive coverage across nine correction facilities, 35 vocational rehabilitation locations, and IEDB sites.

Bidders must provide detailed pricing for both video remote and on-site interpreting services by territory and submit quarterly sales reports. An administrative fee of one percent applies to all contract sales. The state prefers payment through its Purchasing Card (Pcard) program and offers Net 60 payment terms with potential early payment discounts. The RFB does not outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Interested bidders must demonstrate robust capabilities in ASL interpreting, including proficiency in both on-site and video remote interpreting technologies, to provide comprehensive coverage across multiple service locations and agencies.
