Burke Court Reporting LLC

Burke Court Reporting LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Wayne, New Jersey, provides on-site and virtual court reporting, transcription, and legal documentation services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with 271 total awards and no subcontractor footprint. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and agency-specific blanket purchase agreements, though a minority of awards carry no set-aside designation.

Burke Court Reporting's customer concentration is dominated by two agencies. The National Labor Relations Board anchors 42 awards valued at $5.2 million combined potential value—most notably a $2.285 million purchase order for court reporting services across NLRB's 34 regions and Puerto Rico, supporting approximately 400–425 hearings and 50 depositions annually, with pricing structured as firm fixed unit rates for transcript types, attendance, and cancellation fees. In FY2024, this NLRB contract invoiced $345 thousand across 1.1 FTEs at a derived government-paid rate of $156.73 per hour, with all work self-performed. The Merit Systems Protection Board places 71 awards totaling $254 thousand combined potential value. These two customers account for a disproportionate share of the portfolio—the NLRB alone represents 70% of combined potential value across all awards, while placing only 15% of award count. The Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor Office of the Solicitor, and Social Security Administration round out the active customer set, with the IRS running multiple small purchase orders and delivery orders for virtual court reporter services under the GSA Schedule, typically valued between $1,700 and $4,200 per task.

Burke Court Reporting operates across five parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule anchors 19 task orders valued at $854 thousand combined potential value and carries four active labor categories for court reporters and simultaneous captioners priced from $48.36 per hour (per-hour rate with high school education and five years' experience) through $342.57 per hour (full-day rate). The Merit Systems Protection Board BPA (MSPBPA1201) places 40 task orders worth $55 thousand. Additional BPAs with MSPB (MSPBPA1301, 18 task orders, $23 thousand) and the Social Security Administration (SS021340002, 8 task orders, $72 thousand) provide smaller order-placement channels. A single-award BPA with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration valued at $200 thousand was awarded on September 30, 2025, with performance through September 29, 2028, under the R606 Court Reporting Services classification on the GSA Schedule.

Activity has accelerated in recent years—four awards in 2024 rising to twelve in 2025 and eight through September 2026—though the vendor faces material recompete exposure with four awards (combined potential value $2.5 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The NLRB contract is the primary vehicle carrying this recompete risk, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027, currently in Option Year 4 of its multi-year term. Burke Court Reporting operates with zero subcontractor engagement across its service contract activity; the vendor self-performs all court reporting and transcription work. Federal Emergency Management Agency awards for EEOC case transcripts, Immigration and Customs Enforcement delivery orders for homeland security investigations support, and Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission purchase orders for workplace safety hearing transcription represent the remainder of the portfolio, typically running $1,600 to $6,100 per order. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2001 and maintains a specialized positioning as a high-volume, small-business provider of legal documentation and hearing support to civilian federal agencies, with near-zero defense prime exposure and no subcontracting relationships.
