County Court Reporters Inc.

County Court Reporters Inc., a woman-owned small business and Subchapter S corporation based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering verbatim transcription of legal proceedings—grand jury hearings, depositions, and court documentation—exclusively to the Department of Justice and related federal agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business and Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides across its federal footprint, holding approximately twenty-four single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with U.S. Attorney's Offices nationwide under NAICS 561492 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services).

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions U.S. Attorney's Offices account for 163 of 216 prime awards (75% of award count) and $18.1 million of the combined $20.6 million potential value across all work. The Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys adds 16 awards and $2.1 million, bringing total DOJ concentration to 90% of awards and 99% of potential value. The remaining customer base—Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, Defense Health Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and others—represents supporting work totaling fewer than twenty awards and less than $1 million combined potential value. One contract with Defense Health Agency (a $121,680 purchase order for court hearing transcription support awarded June 26, 2023, completing June 25, 2026) and occasional orders from Coast Guard and other agencies indicate limited adjacent-market penetration, but the vendor's federal posture is operationally monolithic: it exists to serve the Attorney's Offices.

The underlying vehicle structure consists of single-award IDCs, each typically structured with a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods and ceiling values ranging from approximately $10,000 to $1.3 million. The top five parent vehicles by order count are five distinct IDCs (15JA0518D00000250, 15JA0521D00000147, 15JA0518D00000327, 15JA0520D00000248, and 15JA0521D00000039) collectively carrying 27 task orders and $1.29 million in combined potential value. Work is priced uniformly on a time-and-materials basis with Service Contract Act wage determination compliance and mandatory Tier 4 High Risk Public Trust background clearance for personnel accessing grand jury materials. Recent IDCs awarded include vehicles for the Southern District of Mississippi (Oct 1, 2025; ceiling $168,202.92), Southern District of South Carolina (Sept 1, 2025; ceiling $209,653.44), District of South Carolina (Sept 1, 2025; ceiling $576,131.98), and Eastern District of Wisconsin (Aug 26, 2024; ceiling $261,012.87).

Award activity has declined in recent years after peaking in 2022 and 2024. The vendor received 37 awards in 2022, 31 in 2023, 37 in 2024, but only 25 in 2025 and 15 in 2026 year-to-date through October 1, 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, eighteen awards carrying combined potential value of $790 thousand will reach ultimate completion date and face recompete exposure. The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint; all 216 awards are prime, executed in-house from its Virginia Beach headquarters with performance locations distributed across multiple U.S. judicial districts as task orders direct.

Beyond court reporting, the vendor has demonstrated limited service-line expansion. A single video editing purchase order ($58,660, awarded April 22, 2025, completion April 21, 2026) and occasional transcript-preparation orders suggest incremental diversification, but court reporting remains the overwhelming primary capability and revenue driver. The vendor's monolithic customer concentration, narrow service scope, and dependence on a fragmented portfolio of single-award IDCs with annual recompete cycles create structural vulnerability to customer portfolio shifts or consolidation by the Department of Justice.
