Global Interpreting Network Inc. AFI

Edge Public is pleased to announce that Global Interpreting has been named one of the awarded vendors under contract AFI-2026124 — Translation Services (Software/AI) — following a competitive RFP process conducted through the Alliance for Innovation (AFI) cooperative purchasing program. The multi-award structure of this contract gives public agencies the flexibility to select the vendor best suited to their specific language access needs, while ensuring every option has been fully vetted through a rigorous, standardized evaluation process. For K-12 school districts and municipal governments, meaningful language access isn't optional — it's a legal obligation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and a practical necessity for serving increasingly multilingual communities. Through this cooperative agreement, public entities nationwide can now access Global Interpreting's services — including on-demand phone and video interpretation and broader language access support — without running their own RFP or bid process. That means faster implementation, reduced administrative burden, and immediate access to a proven, competitively awarded vendor. Edge Public encourages school districts, municipalities, and public agencies to explore this contract, including Global Interpreting's offerings, as they build out or strengthen their language access programs, helping ensure every resident and family — regardless of the language they speak — can fully engage with public services and educational opportunities.
