About this opportunity
Broome County Health Department and Division of Purchasing are seeking qualified sign language interpreters to provide services for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, specifically targeting infants, toddlers, preschool children, and their parents or guardians through Early Intervention and Preschool Special Education programs. The Request for Proposal (RFP-2025-051) requires interpreters with membership in the National Association of the Deaf and Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, possessing a minimum of 2-3 years of educational interpreting experience. Proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, with submission requirements of one original, one copy, and one electronic copy. The contract evaluation will use a weighted scoring system: 50% for minimum qualifications, 25% for reference quality, and 25% for hourly rates. Interpreters must demonstrate capability to provide services within 48-hour notice, handle emergency requests, potentially manage multiple languages, and maintain comprehensive documentation. The contract will have an initial two-year term upon Broome County Legislature approval, with potential for three optional one-year renewals.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Interpreters will be compensated at an hourly rate with a two-hour minimum, with weekend and holiday assignments billed at the same rate as weekday services. Successful bidders must provide proof of insurance and comply with non-discrimination policies and Iranian Energy Sector Divestment certification. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contract appears focused on establishing a pool of qualified interpreters who can be called upon as needed for educational interpreting services. Interpreters will be expected to maintain professional credentials, provide flexible scheduling, and meet the communication needs of deaf and hard of hearing individuals in Broome County's educational programs. The procurement approach suggests the county is seeking to establish a reliable, qualified roster of sign language interpreting professionals who can support critical educational and communication needs.
