Carson Reporting & Associates, LLC

Carson Reporting & Associates, LLC, a Dallas-based sole proprietorship and small business, provides grand jury court reporting and transcription services to the Department of Justice as a prime contractor on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The company operates a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the U.S. Attorney's Offices valued at $753,115 through September 2028, with a base year plus four option years, from which delivery orders are issued for time-and-materials court reporting support across United States Attorneys' Offices nationwide.

Carson's customer footprint is narrowly concentrated within the Department of Justice. All seventeen recent awards (100% coverage) flow from three DOJ components: the U.S. Attorney's Offices (13 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), the Federal Bureau of Investigation Dallas Field Office (2 awards, $4 thousand combined potential value), and the Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center Carswell (2 awards, $7 thousand combined potential value). The U.S. Attorney's Offices dominate both award count and dollar magnitude. Carson competes exclusively as a prime contractor; the source carries no subcontract activity.

Capability work centers on grand jury and criminal trial transcription. Representative awards include a $79,777.54 delivery order issued September 30, 2025 (ultimate completion September 29, 2026) for grand jury court reporting services under the primary IDC; a $74,212.50 delivery order issued September 30, 2024 (ultimate completion September 29, 2025) for the same purpose; and a $68,175.00 delivery order issued September 30, 2023 (ultimate completion September 29, 2024) for grand jury court reporting in the Northern District of Texas. Earlier awards include small purchase orders from June 2022 for criminal trial transcripts and grand jury deposition transcripts valued at under one thousand dollars each, issued by the U.S. Attorney's Offices.

Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2025, one in 2024, two in 2023, three in 2022, and one in 2019 — reflecting light task-order issuance against the primary IDC. Combined obligated dollars total $302 thousand against $1.1 million in combined potential value (27% obligation rate), indicating moderate drawdown on the vehicle's ceiling. One award valued at $80 thousand reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing the only near-term recompete exposure.
