Western Oregon Service Unit Interpreter Service
Solicitation # 75H71326Q00056
This contract is a firm-fixed-price commercial services solicitation issued under FAR Part 12 for American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter services to support Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients at the Chemawa Indian Health Center in Salem, Oregon, operated by the Indian Health Service’s Western Oregon Service Unit. The scope requires qualified interpreters to provide in-person services for scheduled clinical encounters, with Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) available only as a backup when in-person coverage is unavailable. Interpreters must meet strict qualification standards, maintain HIPAA compliance, safeguard Protected Health Information, adhere to a 72-hour advance-notice scheduling model, and achieve a 90% in-person fulfillment rate for qualifying requests. The contract is structured with one 12-month base period running from July 15, 2026, through July 14, 2027, and four optional 12-month extension periods, with performance occurring during standard clinic hours Monday through Friday, excluding federally recognized holidays and emergency closures. The solicitation is exclusively set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) under the Buy Indian Act, meaning only small businesses that qualify as Indian Economic Enterprises may submit offers, and they must remain eligible throughout the entire contract lifecycle—from quotation through execution. Subcontracting or teaming arrangements are permitted but must be fully disclosed, and the prime contractor must demonstrate compliance with Buy Indian Act subcontracting limitations. Offerors must submit a completed IHS Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form, evidence of all required interpreter credentials and insurance, SAM.gov registration with a valid UEI, and a detailed technical proposal addressing staffing, scheduling, VRI coordination, quality control, and past performance, alongside a price quote for the base period and all four options. Pricing must include all labor, management, transportation, insurance, and overhead costs for in-person services; any additional costs such as VRI, after-hours coverage, or cancellations must be separately identified and pre-approved. Quotes are evaluated based on technical capability (highest priority), past performance, and price, with award made to the offeror providing best value rather than necessarily the lowest price. Invoices must be submitted monthly through the U.S. Treasury’s IPP system, excluding Protected Health Information, and performance will be measured through appointment records, provider feedback, and invoice audits. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and HHSAR clauses covering labor standards, equal opportunity, privacy, cybersecurity, whistleblower protections, paid sick leave, and anti-trafficking requirements, and the
