About this file

This is a Notice of Award for a Language Services statewide contract issued by the Georgia Department of Administrative Services (DOAS), State Purchasing Division. The solicitation (SPD0000204) was closed on July 18, 2023, and the Notice of Award was posted on March 26, 2024. The contract establishes multiple statewide and regional categories of language services including written translation, telephonic interpretation, Braille services, video remote interpretation, video remote sign language interpretation, platform/broadcasting services, in-person sign language interpretation, and in-person language interpretation across all regions and specifically in Region 3. Eight categories received statewide contract awards with no set value, while two Region 3-specific categories also received awards with no set value. The contract awards are statewide in scope, and all awarded amounts are estimates only as this is an open agency contract with primary and secondary awardees.

Multiple vendors were awarded across the service categories, including Ad Astra, Interpreters Unlimited, Language Line Services, Lionbridge, Homeland Language Services, MasterWord Services, Propio, SOS Language Solutions, LATN, PGLS, and Translation Station. Fourteen unsuccessful offerors were identified, with the majority rejected as "Not Highest Scoring Proposal" for this request for proposal, while three vendors (Health Plus Transport, Morris Interpreting Service Inc, and Worldwide Interpreters Inc) were deemed non-responsive. No incumbent information, pricing terms, set-asides, or specific funding amounts are disclosed in this award document. Protests must be submitted electronically to doas.protests@doas.ga.gov in accordance with the Georgia Procurement Manual.
