Product and/or Service to be purchased: website development, ASL translation and video production with post production Sole Source Supplier: Access Simplified Earliest Proposed Purchase Date: 2/12/2024 Buyer Name: Monica Henderson Sole Source Justification: University ASL Diabetes Program is using vendor for ASL Translation & Video Production services and is seeking web development in ASL. The vendor employs Deaf professional actors and staff, an important component for quality assurance. Vendor must be able to guarantee American Sign Language fluency, equal access, and cultural sensitivity for the educational videos we are producing. Language translation is imperative in this project. Having the appropriate steps in place to ensure the complex medical content is translated and signed correctly in ASL is critical to the success of our project. Access Simplified is the only vendor we could identify that has these assurances in place and the only available vendor that offers the service needed from a single supplier. It would be cost prohibitive to have any work redone. Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification.
