About this IDV

The Merit Systems Protection Board awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Mermaid Transcription & Administrative Services, LLC for court reporting services. Under multiple calls issued against the BPA between October 2020 and September 2022, Mermaid Transcription provided transcription services for MSPB regional offices in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm fixed price calls ranged in value from $0 to $1,600 and required services through completion dates between April and September of 2023. As the independent agency responsible for protecting merit principles and due process rights of federal employees, the MSPB commonly requires verbatim transcripts of hearings and other legal proceedings to fulfill its appellate functions. Mermaid Transcription performed as the prime contractor to supply court reporting from its location in Washington, D.C. in support of the MSPB's regional operations.

No set-aside provisions or subcontracting arrangements were included in the multiple BPA calls awarded over the two-year period of performance. As an quasi-judicial agency that adjudicates appeals of adverse personnel actions, the MSPB relies on accurate transcripts from court reporting vendors such as Mermaid Transcription to ensure fairness and integrity in resolving federal workforce cases. The BPA and associated calls aimed to procure these transcription services on an as-needed basis to facilitate the MSPB's review of employee grievances within its regional offices.
