Appino & Biggs Reporting Services, Inc.

Appino & Biggs Reporting Services, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Topeka, Kansas, provides grand jury and deposition court reporting and legal transcription services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The company operates under NAICS 561492 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services) and competes primarily on small-business set-aside vehicles, with recent awards splitting between Total Small Business set-asides and unrestricted competition.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Justice. The top five customer organizations account for 90% of recent awards by count and 100% by potential value, dominated by the U.S. Attorney's Offices (11 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value) and the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (3 awards, $150 thousand). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Kansas Army National Guard, and the DOJ Civil Rights Division round out the active customer set. All material dollars flow through DOJ components.

Appino & Biggs holds three active indefinite-delivery contracts, the largest being a single-award IDIQ with the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Kansas (awarded August 6, 2024, ceiling $596,793.50, performance through August 5, 2029). This vehicle uses time-and-materials pricing with fixed unit rates for transcription at various turnaround windows (10-day, 5-day), exhibit copies, and attendance fees. Three delivery orders have been issued under this IDIQ: a $85,891.00 order awarded September 6, 2024 (completed August 5, 2025); a $93,268.30 order issued August 6, 2025 (completed August 5, 2026); and a $98,851.80 Total Small Business set-aside order awarded August 6, 2026 (running through August 5, 2027). Two additional IDIQs with DOJ entities carry six and three task orders respectively. All work is performed in Topeka, Kansas.

Activity has been modest and uneven — one award in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value of $1.6 million and obligated dollars of $651 thousand (41% of potential). One award (the August 2026 delivery order, $98,851.80) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete in that window. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract work appears in the source.
