Bromberg & Associates — Language, accessibility, and technology solutions

Sourcewell, a Minnesota service cooperative, has established a Master Agreement with Bromberg & Associates, LLC to provide comprehensive language, accessibility, and technology solutions. The scope of services includes professional interpretation, translation, testing, and training for participating governmental, educational, nonprofit, and tribal entities across the United States and Canada. A critical requirement of the contract is the use of professional human linguists, explicitly excluding AI or software-driven language technologies. The agreement is structured as a solutions-based framework, functioning similarly to an IDIQ contract, with an estimated base term of four years starting October 1, 2025, and potential extensions up to a total of seven years. The award was determined through a best-value trade-off methodology based on a 1,000-point scoring system, where pricing was the most significant factor at 40 percent, followed by the depth and breadth of solutions, delivery capabilities, marketing plans, and financial viability. Bromberg & Associates is recognized as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE). The contract mandates strict compliance with various federal and state regulations, including the Buy American Act, Equal Employment Opportunity standards, and prohibitions on certain foreign telecommunications equipment. Administrative management is handled through Sourcewell, while specific inspection and acceptance criteria are negotiated individually between the supplier and the participating entities.
