About this file
This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game (DFG) for written translation services of the FY27 Community Biodiversity Grants RFR. The DFG seeks translation of the attached RFR document from English into eight languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, and Arabic. The vendor must deliver eight separate documents in Rich Text (RTF) or PDF format matching the original document's layout. All translations must utilize 100% human translation services with verification by a second translator to ensure accuracy and eliminate typographical and grammatical errors. The project requires expedited completion by May 26, 2026. Responses are due electronically through the COMMBUYS system by May 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM, with an estimated award date of May 21, 2026. The DFG contact for this solicitation is Conrad Crawford at conrad.r.crawford@mass.gov or (857) 283-8081.
Evaluation of quotes will be based on price, ability to meet the deadline, compliance with delivery and accuracy specifications, and references if available. The vendor should provide individual cost estimates for translation into each of the eight languages. Given the technical nature of the content involving science and wildlife terminology, the vendor must be comfortable translating specialized concepts or willing to collaborate with the DFG EJ Liaison to ensure accurate conveyance of information across non-English languages where direct translation equivalents may not exist. The RFQ was posted on May 18, 2026, and DFG reserves the right to accept or reject any quotes, contract with some or all vendors, negotiate with responding vendors, or cancel the RFQ entirely if deemed in the agency's best interest.
