Professional Liability and Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

The contract requires the provision of professional liability, errors and omissions, and general liability insurance coverage for interpreters engaged by the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation. Coverage must be maintained in accordance with state standards and include the CDCR as a named additional insured on all policies, with certificates of insurance issued to document compliance. The insurance must protect against claims arising from professional services rendered by interpreters, including negligence, miscommunication, or failure to perform duties properly, ensuring the state is shielded from financial and legal exposure related to interpreter activities. The contract is designated as a subcontract under NAICS code 524211 and is actively soliciting responses from qualified insurers or brokers. Offers must be submitted by the specified deadline of August 21, 2026, and all proposals must align with CDCR’s requirements for policy terms, limits, and documentation. While no set-aside designation is specified, participation is open to eligible entities capable of meeting the scope of coverage and administrative obligations, with performance tied to the operational needs of the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation across all locations where interpreters are deployed.
