About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a seven-month contract extension with Access Interpreting, Inc. to provide sign language and interpreting services under Contract No. 75N98019D00055. The extension runs from September 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026, and increases the contract ceiling from $31,223,718.74 to $36,223,718.74, representing a $5 million increase. The services include American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting and Computer Assisted Real-time Transcription (CART) delivered both onsite and online to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing employees, patients, and visitors as required under Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act. The sole-source extension is justified by the critical need to prevent service disruption while NIH completes a competitive recompete process, with the current contract having provided over 71,000 hours of service in FY2024. NIH anticipates awarding a new competitive contract by the end of March 2026, making this extension necessary to maintain essential communication services that support patient care, research projects, and the safety of deaf researchers and employees.
