About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Federal Emergency Management Agency seeks qualified American Sign Language interpreters to provide video remote interpretation services on an on-demand basis to ensure COVID-19 vaccine information and medical services are accessible to deaf or hard of hearing individuals in all 50 states and territories. Due to the specialized nature of the work in medical and emergency response environments, as well as pandemic-related restrictions, only an established vendor with qualified interpreters fluent in government, emergency and medical terminology could meet this need. The contract was awarded on February 27, 2021 to an unknown vendor for an unknown value under solicitation number 70FA2021P00000011 to provide these services throughout the United States and its territories as needed.
Notice text

The platform, a VP 800# used for on demand remote interpretation will not be provided by the Agency and must be an established by the Contractor.
