Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seeking qualified firms to provide in‑person language interpretation services for the Department of Energy Resources. The work involves supplying interpreters who can fluently translate between English and a range of target languages for scheduled meetings and events, with a minimum three‑business‑day notice requirement (24‑48 hours preferred). The contract will be awarded on a single‑contractor basis (up to two contractors may be selected) and will be billed on a monthly basis. Vendors must be able to meet the Commonwealth’s environmental and small‑business purchasing program requirements.
• Provide face‑to‑face interpretation (English ↔ target language) for events at the DOE Resources headquarters.
• Offer interpreters fluent in English and one or more listed languages (e.g., Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Haitian Creole, etc.).
• Submit competitive pricing via COMMBUYS; price accounts for only 15 % of evaluation weighting, with quality and experience comprising the remainder.
