The U.S. Attorney's Office, Western District of Michigan, is soliciting quotations for Grand Jury Court Reporting Services, a commercial item procurement to be conducted under FAR 12.202(b). The services include providing qualified court reporters for approximately 36 Grand Jury proceedings annually in Grand Rapids, with an estimated eight hours per proceeding occurring approximately three times monthly.

Evaluation will be based on proposed key personnel qualifications (technical merit), past performance references from the last three years, and fixed-price unit costs for all services, with technical and past performance weighted significantly more heavily than price.
