Computer Aided Transcription Service, Inc.

Computer Aided Transcription Service, Inc. (doing business as Cat S) is a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned business registered in SAM.gov since June 2008. The company specializes in court reporting and transcription services, primarily serving federal government agencies with professional legal documentation support. As a Subchapter S Corporation, Cat S has positioned itself as a specialized service provider focused on supporting legal proceedings through accurate and timely transcription services for government entities.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards from the U.S. Department of Justice, specifically the U.S. Attorney's Offices, for grand jury and deposition court reporting services. These contracts have ranged from individual purchase orders to delivery orders under indefinite delivery contracts, with values typically between $5,000 and $71,000. The contract awards demonstrate Cat S's capability to provide specialized court reporting services across different geographic locations, including Washington, DC and North River, North Dakota. While most recent contract awards did not have specific set-aside designations, the original indefinite delivery contract was designated as a woman-owned small business set-aside, highlighting the company's status as a diverse and qualified government contractor.

Cat S currently holds a significant single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the U.S. Department of Justice, valued at $240,356.50 with a 5-year period of performance ending in September 2024. This IDC serves as a primary contracting vehicle for the U.S. Attorney's Offices to procure court reporting and transcription services nationwide. The contract enables the agency to efficiently issue delivery orders for specific court reporting needs, with recent orders covering services such as grand jury and deposition documentation. The IDC's set-aside status for small businesses and its focus on supporting legal proceedings underscore Cat S's strategic positioning within the federal government's procurement ecosystem, particularly for specialized legal documentation services.
