The Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game is requesting expedited written translation quotes for its FY27 Community Biodiversity Grants RFR into eight languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, and Arabic), with responses due May 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM through COMMBUYS and an estimated award date of May 21, 2026.

The scope requires translation of the grant program RFR document from English into all eight target languages, with deliverables in Rich Text (RTF) or PDF format matching the original layout. All translations must use 100% human translation with verification by a second translator to ensure accuracy and eliminate typographical and grammatical errors. Completion is required by May 26, 2026. Vendors must submit individual cost estimates for each of the eight language pairs and should be comfortable translating specialized science and wildlife terminology or willing to collaborate with the DFG EJ Liaison where direct translation equivalents may not exist.

The RFQ specifies that evaluation will be based on price, ability to meet the expedited deadline, compliance with delivery and accuracy specifications, and references if available. The DFG contact is Conrad Crawford at conrad.r.crawford@mass.gov or (857) 283-8081. The DFG reserves the right to accept or reject quotes, contract with some or all vendors, negotiate with responding vendors, or cancel the RFQ if deemed in its best interest.
