Court Certified Spanish Interpreting Services

The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole requires court-certified Spanish interpreting services to support its legal proceedings. The agency is seeking an interpreter to resolve communication barriers during weekly Board hearings and other legal sessions. The selected provider must deliver onsite interpretation services for a contract term of one year. The scope of work requires the interpreter to demonstrate specific experience in legal settings, including details on the frequency of past interpretations, the average length of hearings, and the types of clients served. The agency requires detailed information on any prior interpreting experience specifically conducted for the Board. The provider must also demonstrate consistent availability to conduct these Board hearings on a weekly basis throughout the contract term. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the interpreter to be court-approved or court-certified, and bidders must specify the exact month and year the interpreter joined the official roster. Evaluation will depend on the bidder's documented legal experience, weekly availability, and certification credentials, though the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is openly looking for proposals. The agency has established key deadlines for this procurement. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the opportunity no later than July 13, 2026.
