What does "contracted agencies" mean?

• This means that the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) and the Health Care Authority (HCA) hold a contract with the listed language agencies. This allows the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and HCA to contact these language agencies when there is a need for an interpreter or a translator.
