How you can work with us

Order on a contract you already have. No new procurement.

Any Minnesota state agency, county, city, or school district can access Taika through pre-competed vehicles. Pick the one your procurement office already uses — we handle the paperwork.

Written Language Translation Services

MN Office of State Procurement · Contract 271682

Minnesota's statewide written-translation contract, usable by state agencies and cooperative purchasing members.

NASPO ValuePoint — Cooperative

Master Agreement 40-00000-24-00076AJ

For public entities that order through NASPO ValuePoint. Because participation is confirmed per organization, we verify your exact ordering path directly rather than assume one is in place.

Why Minnesota agencies choose Taika

Serve every resident in their language — and stay ahead of every mandate.

Roughly 1 in 20 Minnesotans is limited English proficient, with Spanish, Somali, and Hmong among the most common languages (Migration Policy Institute). Taika helps your agency meet Title VI, EO 13166, and ADA obligations without adding staff.

Certified translation

Certified and standard document translation for legal, medical, government, and academic use — signed certificate of accuracy for USCIS, court, and institutional submission.

Professional interpretation

On-site, on-demand phone (OPI), video-remote (VRI), and ASL / CART interpretation for service encounters, hearings, IEP meetings, and community events — scheduled or around the clock.

Section 508 & ADA compliance

Document and media remediation to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, plus captioning and subtitling — so your digital communications meet accessibility obligations.

Digital accessibility deadlines are here

Under the ADA Title II rule, public entities serving 50,000+ people must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026; smaller entities and special district governments by April 24, 2027. We remediate documents, websites, and video captioning to close the gap.

How we're different & better

One accountable partner — not a fragmented vendor list.

Typical language vendor

  • Separate vendors for translation, interpreting, and 508
  • Portal-only; no named human contact
  • Slow, unclear quoting
  • Compliance is your problem to assemble

Taika

  • Translation + interpretation + Section 508/ADA in one contract
  • A named team that answers the phone
  • Written quotes at locked contract pricing
  • Title VI, EO 13166, and accessibility handled together

What we love that Minnesota is doing

Minnesota is investing in language access.

A few initiatives — in the areas we work in every day — that we admire:

Minnesota Judicial Branch Statewide Language Access Plan

Minnesota replaced county-by-county plans with a single statewide plan providing free interpretation and translation to LEP and deaf/hard-of-hearing court users.

Minnesota State Accessibility Standard (WCAG 2.1 AA)

Minnesota IT Services requires executive-branch websites, documents, and IT to meet WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 — one of the clearest digital-accessibility mandates in the country.
