DOJ Transcription Services

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Transcription Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides comprehensive transcription services specifically focused on typed transcripts of government-owned recordings from immigration hearings. This federal contract vehicle enables the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to procure transcription, translation, and court reporting services through multiple prime contractors. The vehicle was originally awarded on April 1, 2013, with a shared ceiling value of $50 million and was designed to support the DOJ's ongoing need for accurate documentation of immigration proceedings.

The task orders under this IDIQ are consistently awarded to multiple contractors, including National Capitol Contracting, LLC, Deposition Services, Inc., and Free State Reporting, Inc. Most delivery orders are firm fixed-price contracts ranging from approximately $275,000 to $1.5 million, with performance periods typically aligned to fiscal years (October 1 through September 30). While many task orders have been set aside as total small business designations, some were awarded without specific set-aside requirements. The primary funding agency is the DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review, with occasional task orders from the DOJ Office of the Inspector General. Contractors consistently provide transcription services to support legal proceedings and administrative functions, demonstrating a specialized focus on converting government-recorded immigration hearing materials into written documentation.
