Debra A Sprague

Debra A Sprague, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Cincinnati, Ohio, provides court reporting and verbatim transcription services exclusively to the Internal Revenue Service as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders, with no subcontract activity.

The vendor operates as a certified court reporter serving a single customer agency. The Internal Revenue Service accounts for 94% of recent awards (1,103 awards, $271 thousand combined potential value) across distinct IRS divisions including Criminal Investigation, Employee Relations, Wage & Investments, and the Taxpayer Focused Support Division. Sprague delivers court reporting and transcription services for depositions, arbitration hearings, oral replies, administrative interviews, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission proceedings, with performance occurring in Colerain Township, Ohio as the primary base and subordinate performance locations across multiple geographic regions including Kentucky, California, New York, Texas, and Washington. She also provides transcription of audio and Zoom files for IRS proceedings.

Activity has remained relatively stable across recent years—55 awards in 2022, 64 in 2023, 58 in 2024, 51 in 2025, and 18 through September 2026 (representing a partial-year snapshot). Over two decades, the vendor has received more than 200 prime federal contract awards nearly exclusively from the IRS since registering in the System for Award Management in May 2002. Individual purchase order ceilings range from under three hundred dollars to approximately seven thousand dollars, typically structured as short-duration engagements tied to specific proceedings. Recent representative work includes a $7,240 order for court reporter services covering April 28 through May 26, 2026; a $4,820 order for court reporter services with period-of-performance modification extending from July through October 2026; a $3,421.75 order for virtual court reporter services supporting a two-day arbitration hearing; and numerous smaller orders for oral replies, depositions, and transcription work.

Sprague places task orders under two blanket purchase agreements: Blanket Purchase Agreement TIRSE06S00001 (180 task orders) and Blanket Purchase Agreement TIRSE09S00003 (144 task orders, $91 thousand combined potential value). The vendor's award portfolio shows 1,157 awards classified under Court Reporting and Stenotype Services (NAICS 541922), with 1,161 awards carrying the Support-Administrative Court Reporting PSC code. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $2 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Combined dollars obligated across all awards exceed combined potential value by 29%, reflecting frequent modifications and fund de-obligations as proceedings are scheduled, rescheduled, or cancelled.
