The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking a contractor to furnish services to translate technical documents from the following foreign language groups into English and on occasion from English into a foreign language. The language groups are Germanic (German, Dutch, Swedish), Romance (French, Spanish, Italian), Oriental (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), and Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian). On occasion, there may be documents from Slavic languages, such as Czech or Slovakian, or from the Finno-Ugric subfamily of Uralic languages, such as Finnish or Hungarian. The documents requiring translation may consist of, but will not be limited to, nuclear power plant safety analysis and safety analysis reports (complete with graphic materials, such as tables, figures, diagrams, charts, etc.), nuclear health and safety documents, computer programs, equipment qualification, emergency evacuation procedures, and extensive related technical material. The contractor shall provide fully translated documents that are legible, error-free, and of publishable quality. For each document translated, the contractor shall complete an abstract containing 200 words or less, a document cover page, and the required sections of the NRC work order (WO) form. The contractor shall return the original foreign document and two copies of the translation with abstract, cover, completed WO, and if required, a computer diskette and a proprietary cover sheet, to NRC by the due date specified in the WO. The contractor shall conform to the detailed specifications/formats in the statement of work for this requirement. It is estimated that approximately 1,480,000 words of text per year will require translation. The period of performance will be for a 2-year base period with three 1-year option periods available.
