R606--VISN 6 Court Reporter Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking court reporting services through a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation covers comprehensive court reporting services including in-person reporting, telephonic hearings, transcript production with various turnaround times, and related administrative services for VA Medical Centers across North Carolina and Virginia. Contractors must demonstrate at least three years of court reporting experience and maintain compliance with Service Contract Act wage determinations for multiple counties in both states. The evaluation process will prioritize past performance over technical capabilities and price considerations, with a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan establishing performance standards with acceptable quality levels ranging from 90-95 percent. The solicitation was posted on September 24, 2025, with quotes due by 10:00 AM EST on September 29, 2025, providing only five days for response preparation.

This procurement is designated as a 100 percent Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, restricting competition to verified SDVOSB contractors only. The contract structure includes a base period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods, creating a potential five-year total performance period. The estimated maximum quantity is capped at 50,000 service days across the entire contract duration, indicating substantial volume potential for the selected contractors. Performance will occur across multiple VA Medical Center locations including Hampton, Richmond, Fayetteville, Durham, Salem, Asheville, and Salisbury, spanning facilities throughout North Carolina and Virginia. The firm fixed-price contract structure provides pricing stability for both the government and contractors, while the multiple award approach allows for competition among selected vendors for individual task orders.
