Description

AI Generated

The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Department of Energy Resources needs qualified vendors to provide scheduled, in-person interpretation services for non-English speakers. The scope requires delivering in-person interpretation of complex topics from English to the Commonwealth's most common languages, including Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Russian, Khmer, Cape-Verdean Creole, French, Arabic, and Korean. Interpreters must be fluent and possess speaking proficiency in both English and the second language, while familiarity with environmental and environmental justice terminology is strongly preferred. Eligible USA onshore organizations may submit proposals, and non-profit firms must be registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office to participate as Small Business Purchasing Program bidders. The buyer will evaluate quotes using a 100-point scale based on ability to meet deliverables, experience providing services for government agencies, product quality, and price competitiveness. Bidders must submit quotes electronically online via COMMBUYS, though the prompt text does not state specific application deadlines or budget figures.
