Translation and Interpretation Services

This solicitation by the Nevada Statewide Contracts division seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive translation and interpretation services across the state, including on-site, remote, spoken, and sign language interpreting, as well as document translation. The contract aims to establish multiple awards for a four-year term, contingent upon approval by the Nevada Board of Examiners, with regional awards possible. The procurement emphasizes quality control, resource availability, interpreter and translator capacity, and cost, with evaluation factors weighted equally at 50 each, and cost at 10, reflecting a best-value approach rather than lowest price. The scope of work, detailed technical requirements, and performance standards are outlined in attached documents, which specify expectations for 24/7 availability, error-free document translation, and standards for video remote interpreting and over-the-phone services. The contractual framework incorporates standard Nevada and federal procurement regulations, including terms for independent contractor services, insurance requirements, and compliance with lobbying and confidentiality statutes. The contract is structured around a Request for Qualifications process, with proposals submitted electronically via NevadaEPro by December 9, 2025. Vendors must complete various forms, including vendor information, certifications regarding lobbying and debarment, and detailed technical and cost proposals. The agreement emphasizes transparency, public record access, and adherence to applicable standards, with provisions for contract termination, audit rights, and performance inspection. Attachments referenced in the contract include scope of work, insurance schedules, solicitation amendments, and vendor proposals, although specific deliverables and pricing details are to be provided by vendors during the proposal process.
