On-Site and Video Remote Interpreting Services (CANCELLED)

The District of Columbia's Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) through its Contracting and Procurement Administration (CPA) is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive interpreting services for deaf and hearing impaired individuals. The procurement specifically targets internet-based video remote interpreting (VRI) services and live on-site interpreter support as auxiliary communication aids. The primary objective is to ensure effective communication accessibility for deaf and hearing impaired clients across CFSA operations. The solicitation was originally posted on March 29, 2013, with a proposal submission deadline of June 12, 2013. Key deliverables include both real-time video remote interpretation capabilities and in-person interpreter services, designed to facilitate clear communication for individuals with hearing disabilities.

While the procurement notice does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the specialized nature of the interpreting services suggests potential opportunities for businesses with specific linguistic and accessibility expertise. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, and the contract appears to be establishing a new service framework for the District of Columbia. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the interpreting services contract. The solicitation appears to be focused on creating a flexible, technology-enabled interpretation solution that can support the diverse communication needs of CFSA's client populations through both digital and in-person interpreter resources.
