DESCRIPTION

The procuring organization seeks a vendor to provide a computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool solution. The procurement includes cloud-based software-as-a-service licensing, system integration and implementation, training, and ongoing technical support. The platform must be robust and scalable, supporting multilingual communications across departments and public-facing services.

The solution should support project creation and management, including unique project IDs, cost codes, source and target languages, milestone dates, and source-document attachments. It must evaluate workload rules to prioritize projects based on team availability and cost constraints, allow manual priority adjustments, and provide automated staff notifications.

The platform should include a segment-by-segment visual translation interface, real-time terminology and phrase suggestions, centralized term-base management, duplicate or conflicting term detection, automated quality assurance checks, and a dedicated QA workspace for reviewer feedback and approvals. It should also retrieve agency templates from a central repository and automatically populate template fields using project metadata. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 19, 2026, and questions must be submitted by September 11, 2026.
