Request for Information (RFI)
For
Virtual Interpreters

Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain information for the purposes of market research which may inform future requirement and contract efforts for the Virtual Interpreters for EOIR Immigration Courts.

Summary: The Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is requesting papers providing possible Virtual TeleConference (VTC) interpreter services.

EOIR requires the use of interpreters that are capable of connecting via VTC to the courtroom and provide simultaneous interpreter services to the courts. The courts require interpretation services to ensure the respondents understand the proceedings. Currently the court uses telephonic interpreters that cannot operate in simultaneous mode.

Request: In accordance with FAR 10, Market Research, interested parties are requested to provide a capabilities statement that align with our requirement and answer as many questions as possible on our worksheet. Our goal is to determine what sources (commercial and/or non-commercial) exist in the marketplace.
