About this opportunity
The Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) on behalf of the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, is soliciting deposition court reporting services through Solicitation Number 15JA0526Q00000004. The procurement seeks multiple single awards for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide comprehensive court reporting services including standard transcripts (10-day, 5-day, and daily turnaround), expedited transcripts, condensed transcripts, additional copies, exhibit copies, CD-R production, and videographer services. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submission and maintain registration throughout the contract period, and quotes must include a cover page or completed SF1449 form with the offeror's Unique Entity ID and Tax Identification Number. The solicitation requires submission of key personnel resumes, past performance references, and organizational experience as part of the evaluation criteria, with pricing to be evaluated on a Time and Materials basis. The solicitation closing date is January 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with an anticipated award date of March 1, 2026, and the contracting officer can be reached at 866-606-8220 for additional information.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 561492 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services) with a small business size standard of $19.5 million in average annual receipts. The current incumbent contractor is Veritext, holding Contract Number 15JA0522D00000026 with an estimated five-year total value of $540,619.45, and the new contract will follow a similar structure with one base year and four option years through February 28, 2031. Services will be performed at two locations—Chicago, Illinois (handling approximately 80% of the estimated 15 monthly depositions) and Rockford, Illinois (handling approximately 20%)—with each location requiring a minimum of two court reporters and one videographer. The government prefers court reporters to possess a Tier 4 "High Public Trust" security clearance, though this is not a strict requirement, and depositions typically require 10-30 days' notice with most proceedings conducted in-person and lasting approximately four hours, generating 50-100 pages per deposition.
