Description
The Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MCDHH) is establishing a rolling‑enrollment, fee‑for‑service contract to create a pool of qualified ASL interpreters and transliterators. Individual interpreters in good standing with the agency’s MCD06 contract may apply continuously; contracts are awarded on a rolling basis for a single fiscal year and may run up to June 30 2031. Contractors will provide in‑person and remote interpreting services across a variety of settings (legal, medical, community, platform) and are also expected to mentor new interpreters. Compensation follows the MCD06 rate structure with added benefits such as travel reimbursement, retirement contributions, and paid sick leave.
• Open to individual interpreters only (businesses are excluded).
• Work is statewide, with assignments covering any location in Massachusetts.
• Each award is for up to one fiscal year; no renewal options per contract, but new contracts can be issued continuously.
• No pre‑bid conference or fixed submission deadline – applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
• Primary contact is Jane Sokol Shulman, Purchaser, via email or phone.
