NASPO ValuePoint Language Services for Rhode Island

Rhode Island agencies and local governments need language and accessibility services that fit an established purchasing process — not a new solicitation each time a document or interpreter is required. Rhode Island’s cooperative purchasing structure supports exactly that, and Taika Translations is set up to serve Rhode Island public buyers through it.

How Rhode Island buys cooperatively

Rhode Island’s Department of Administration Division of Purchases (One Capitol Hill, Providence) administers statewide purchasing and issues Master Price Agreements — including awards made under its cooperative agreement with NASPO ValuePoint, which allows authorized governmental entities to participate in cooperative awards. NASPO ValuePoint, the cooperative purchasing arm of the National Association of State Procurement Officials, aggregates demand across the states so a single, competitively solicited master agreement can serve many public entities.

How Taika fits

Taika Translations holds a NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement (40-00000-24-00076AJ) and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule (47QRAA18D00GT, NAICS 541930). Where the appropriate cooperative path is in place, a Rhode Island entity may be able to engage Taika through a contract vehicle it already uses, rather than starting a separate procurement.

The one step to confirm

NASPO ValuePoint master agreements are used within a state through a Participating Addendum — a bilateral agreement adopting the master agreement’s terms for that state. A state’s participation in NASPO ValuePoint for one contract does not automatically extend to every contract. So rather than claim a specific path is active in Rhode Island today, request a procurement consultation and Taika’s government business development team will verify the current status and the exact ordering steps for your organization.
