The selected provider(s) will be required to translate written documents into multiple languages, including Braille, and provide oral and sign language interpretation services.

The GLO intends to award a single work order-based contract for an initial term ending August 31, 2029, with possible extensions. Proposals are due by July 8, 2024 at 2:00 PM CT and will be evaluated based on the providers' ability to complete the project requirements and comply with federal Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting requirements.

The GLO will consider proposals from any qualified provider, but the contract will include requirements to meet federal HUB subcontracting goals. The RFP includes pricing schedules for translation services per word and interpretation services per minute or hour, inclusive of all labor and materials. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, the selected provider must have the capability to integrate with any existing infrastructure or technology used by the GLO in the administration of the disaster relief, recovery, and mitigation programs.
