The Office of Court Administration (OCA) on behalf of the Judicial Branch Certification Commission (JBCC) seeks proposals for examination rating services for the oral examination for licensing language interpreters for court proceedings in accordance with the specifications contained in this Request for Proposal (RFP). The examination is developed by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), and the rating services must be rendered only by a Rater approved by NCSC. It is anticipated, but not guaranteed that approximately 120 examinees will take the examination each year. Respondents may submit proposals to render rating services for oral examinations in one or more languages available through the NCSC. However, the JBCC has a specific need for approved Raters to rate oral examinations in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, and Vietnamese. The JBCC may select more than one NCSCÂapproved Rater to fulfill its need for rating services for more than one language.
