Description

The Judicial Council of California, chaired by the Chief Justice of California, is the policy-making body for the California court system.

This request for proposal seeks the services of a qualified vendor to provide full-scale, real-time verbatim closed-captioning services to the Judicial Council, the Supreme Court of California, the Courts of Appeal, the Habeas Corpus Resource Center, and the 58 Superior Courts of California. The services will include full-scale, real-time verbatim closed captioning of proceedings and other live and pre-recorded meetings, media, and forums.

The Judicial Council anticipates awarding a master agreement for an initial three-year term, with two consecutive one-year options for a potential maximum of five years (“Master Agreement”). Each of the two option terms may be exercised at the Judicial Council’s sole discretion. Any resulting contract is estimated to be effective from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.

Questions should be directed to solicitations@jud.ca.gov (link sends email) and must be received no later than 1:00 PM Pacific Time, April 17, 2026.

Proposals must be received by the Judicial Council no later than 1:00 PM, Pacific Time, May 1, 2026.
