- Description
- Capability Statement Sample 1 Capability Statement Sample 3 Draft NIEHS201800013 Attachments I - VI Capability Statement Sample 2 Sources Sought Notice This is a Sources Sought Notice only. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) The availability and capability of qualified sources/ availability of competition; and (2) the business size and socioeconomic status (e.g. small or large business, HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small business; woman-owned small business; woman-owned small businesses; small disadvantage businesses; or large business), relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. The Government will utilize this information in determining an acquisition strategy, including whether a set-aside is possible. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: The basic service objective is to provide support for the EHP to control the translation of its content, and to translate scientific journal content into multiple languages for worldwide distribution. The contractor shall provide translators who are specifically trained and technically capable of accurately translating content that is scientific and highly technical in nature. Translation of the journal's scientific content is needed throughout the performance period; however, Simplified Chinese will be the focus in year one (1) and two (2) of the contract while years three (3) through five (5) will be expanded to include Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, French, and Hindi. The Contractor shall translate content in a continuous-publication format to match the English content. The Contractor shall accept a continuous stream of content at various volumes and shall integrate the translated content into the existing JATS XML of the English version. This will allow for EHP's online platform to deliver a seamless reading experience to the user no matter what language they prefer. Prior to final delivery of the content to the public, EHP's International Program Manager will review all translated content for accuracy. It is anticipated that there will be 60-75 articles per year; the length and complexity of each article varies, but at least 50% are expected to be short-form (approximately 1 published page) per year during year one (1) and year two (2). The output is expected to increase in year three (3) to between 120-150 articles per year.
