DOJ Transcription Services

The Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review established this Master IDIQ for typed transcripts of government-owned recordings of immigration hearings; ordering closed on July 31, 2018, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle operated across a 5-year ordering window (April 1, 2013 through July 31, 2018) and generated 25 task orders worth $23.9 million in combined potential value, which has been fully obligated. Activity peaked in 2015 with eight orders but declined to four per year in both 2016 and 2017; the most recent order was placed in October 2017. All 25 orders specified firm fixed price and annual performance periods (typically October 1 through September 30).

Three primes shared the work nearly equally. Free State Reporting, Inc. won 7 orders totaling $9.3 million; Deposition Services, Inc. won 10 orders totaling $8.5 million; and National Capitol Contracting, LLC won 8 orders totaling $6.1 million. Individual order values ranged from approximately $14 thousand to $1.5 million. Task orders were concentrated heavily within DOJ itself: the Executive Office for Immigration Review placed 15 orders worth $16.7 million (roughly 70% of vehicle activity), followed by the Justice Management Division with 6 orders worth $5.1 million, the Office of the Inspector General with 3 orders worth $875 thousand, and the Environment and Natural Resources Division with 1 order worth $1.2 million.

Seventeen orders (68%) carried small business set-asides; the remaining 8 orders (32%) were unrestricted. The vehicle's shared ceiling was $50 million, but actual combined potential across all task orders totaled $23.9 million—meaning approximately 52% of the ceiling remained unobligated at the time ordering closed. This vehicle has no active successor in the source material and is not available for new orders.

The purpose of this Master IDIQ is the procurement of services for typed transcripts of government-owned recordings of immigration hearings for the Department of Justice.
