Captioning Services

Georgia Institute of Technology, a constituent institution of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, issued an invitation for bid (2022-IFB-GIT-0079) on April 1, 2022 to add additional suppliers to its existing captioning contract (2020-IFB-GIT-0049), with proposals due April 29, 2022. Suppliers holding active contracts from the prior solicitation were not required to respond.

The scope encompasses captioning services in C-Print and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) formats. Georgia Tech conducted a competitive bidding process and issued a Notice of Intent to Award on July 13, 2022, identifying five apparent successful offerors. The Notice of Award, also posted July 13, lists four successful awardees: AAA Captions (C-Print services), Classroom Clarity (CART services), Landmark Media Solutions, LLC dba Archive Reporting & Captioning (CART services), and Michelle DeVore (C-Print services). Rev.com, Inc., which offered both C-Print and CART services, appears in the NOIA as successful but is listed as unsuccessful in the Award Information; Caption Connection and cielo24, Inc. were rejected as non-low bidders.

Each of the four confirmed successful offerors received an estimated award amount of $150,000. This is an open agency contract with multiple awardees, and award amounts represent estimates only. Jeanette Smith, Issuing Officer, manages the award; contact jeanette.smith@business.gatech.edu. Supplier protests must be submitted electronically to doas.protests@doas.ga.gov per the Georgia Procurement Manual.
