Federal Supply Schedule 47QRAA24D00FP

Free State Reporting, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, was awarded a Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QRAA24D008P) by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service on May 30, 2024, with a ceiling value of $4.58 million and an ultimate completion date of May 29, 2029. This multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicle is designated as a total small business set-aside and enables civilian federal agencies government-wide to procure court reporting, transcription, translation, and litigation support services on an as-needed basis. The contract leverages the GSA's purchasing authority to provide streamlined access to specialized legal documentation services across the federal government without requiring individual agencies to conduct separate competitive procurements.

The scope of services under this Federal Supply Schedule encompasses grand jury and deposition court reporting, transcription of administrative hearings and meetings in multiple formats, translation and interpretation services, and related litigation support capabilities. Free State Reporting's extensive track record delivering these services to federal agencies—including the Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney's Offices across multiple districts, Executive Office for Immigration Review, National Transportation Safety Board, Department of Labor Office of Administrative Law Judges, and numerous other federal entities—demonstrates the breadth and criticality of court reporting and transcription support to federal legal and administrative proceedings. This Federal Supply Schedule contract serves as a master vehicle enabling agencies to issue task orders for time-and-materials, firm fixed price, or labor hour arrangements, providing efficient access to accurate, timely verbatim transcription services essential to federal litigation, immigration proceedings, administrative hearings, and other official proceedings requiring professional documentation.
