Court Reporting

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency seeks nationwide court reporting services, with quotations due May 26, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET under a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside. Amendment 0001, effective May 7, extended the deadline and provided vendor question responses; all offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment.

Place of performance is Washington, DC 20219. The NAICS code is 561492, Court Reporting and Stenotype Services, with a $34 million annual revenue size standard. The contract runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four optional one-year periods and a potential six-month extension, structured as a hybrid combining Labor Hour and Firm Fixed Unit Price line items. The current contract value is $1,440,875.00 under incumbent Diversified Reporting Services, Inc.

Services include digital court reporting, stenotype services, videography, and virtual proceedings (Teams/Zoom). The Government anticipates approximately 45–46 proceedings annually, averaging under 1.5 days each; fewer than 10 percent historically require stenographic reporters or legal videography. Certified court reporters must be employed by the contractor and capable of administering oaths. Deliverables include original certified electronic transcripts in PDF format, ASCII working copies, rough transcripts in ASCII within 24 hours for stenotype services, and synchronized video recordings when requested. Delivery options range from Regular Order (20 calendar days) to Overnight Order (by 9:30 AM the next business day). All transcripts must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards, NIST SP 800-171 for controlled unclassified information handling, and be compatible with the Government's Relativity transcript management software.

Quoters must submit five volumes: Corporate Experience demonstrating three recent similar contracts (15 pages maximum), Nationwide Approach addressing deployment across all 50 states (3 pages maximum), Past Performance Survey responses from three references, Pricing completed in provided tables with firm pricing for 120 days, and an Initial Staffing Plan. Pricing must be fixed for all base and option periods; adjustments are permitted only under FAR clause 52.222-43 for prevailing wage. Evaluation weighs non-price factors (corporate experience, nationwide approach, past performance) more heavily than price. Contractor personnel must sign a Conditional Access to Controlled Unclassified Information Non-Disclosure Agreement and comply with NIST SP 800-171 compliance, CUI handling procedures, encryption standards, and incident reporting within one hour of security breaches to the OCC Cyber Defense Center.
