Services include interpretation of daily living skills information and must maintain HIPAA confidentiality standards to ensure Title VI of the Civil Rights Act compliance.

The pricing quote must reflect any language-specific commitments COBH should consider.
No contract value, term length, or evaluation criteria weighting are stated in the solicitation.
