Diversified Reporting Services, Inc.

Diversified Reporting Services, Inc., an SBA-certified women-owned small business headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, provides court reporting, transcription, deposition support, and litigation documentation services exclusively as a prime contractor to 71 distinct federal agencies across 357 recent awards. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-asides, though it maintains WOSB certification and has received several woman-owned and total small business set-aside task orders, particularly under Department of Justice and Department of State vehicles.

The company's capability portfolio centers on stenographic and digital court reporting for grand jury proceedings, depositions, administrative hearings, and investigative transcription. Recent representative work includes a $1.9 million definitive contract awarded by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on July 1, 2026, for nationwide court reporting services (digital, stenotype, videography, and virtual formats) running through June 2031 with four optional one-year periods; a $3.6 million BPA call from the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 2026, for investigative and administrative reporting, video, and transcription services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $22.5 million SEC BPA call issued June 1, 2022, for court reporting and investigative transcripts services extending through June 2026; and a $5 million Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs BPA for transcription services running through March 2029. All work carries strict security and accessibility requirements — transcripts must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards and NIST SP 800-171 handling protocols, and court reporters must be direct employees capable of administering oaths and managing sensitive grand jury materials.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (10 awards, $108.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of Justice ecosystem. The top five funding agencies by potential value represent 84% of the portfolio: SEC ($108.4 million), DOJ US Attorney's Offices ($30.3 million), Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs ($16.9 million), DOJ Executive Office for US Attorneys ($9.7 million), and Defense Information Systems Agency ($5.7 million). By award count, DOJ US Attorney's Offices leads with 32 awards ($30.3 million), followed by DOJ Justice Management Division (20 awards, $25 thousand), and Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs (17 awards, $16.9 million) — the gap between count and dollars reflects high-value SEC work concentrated in fewer tasks.

The vendor holds multiple significant IDVs anchoring its delivery network. Five single-award IDIQ contracts with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, all designated total small business set-asides and awarded September 30, 2025, carry combined ceilings of $9.2 million and extend through 2030, covering grand jury and deposition court reporting for both Superior Court and District Court proceedings. An additional single-award IDC with the Eastern District of Virginia U.S. Attorney's Office (September 30, 2025, $576,648.50 ceiling through September 2030) serves similar scope. The $5 million Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs BPA (April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2029) and the SEC's $22.5 million blanket purchase agreement (through June 2026) function as master vehicles for transcription task orders across multiple agencies. Most work flows through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where the vendor holds 75 task orders valued at $83.8 million combined, followed by the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0471N (21 task orders, $269 thousand) and the Temporary Administrative and Professional Staffing vehicle (14 task orders, $549 thousand).

Activity has grown significantly in FY2025 (23 awards) after a dip in FY2024 (8 awards), following a baseline of 10–13 awards per year in FY2022–FY2023. Only nine awards with combined potential value of $4.7 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest near-term recompete exposure; however, the 2025 surge in task orders against mature IDVs suggests the vendor is capturing incremental funding on established vehicles rather than winning major new competitions.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue from federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $16.6 million across FY2022–FY2024: $5.3 million in FY2022 (59.4 FTEs), $5.2 million in FY2023 (42.8 FTEs), and $6.1 million in FY2024 (38.1 FTEs). This FTE decline despite stable or rising invoiced dollars reflects shift toward higher-value-per-labor assignments. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $36.89/hr, with junior transcription labor in the $23.84/hr range and senior court reporters and supervisory roles priced through $101.88/hr. The vendor self-performed 88% of reported contractor hours, with minimal subcontractor engagement (12% average sub-hours share across prime contracts and only two named subs across the SCI footprint), indicating a direct-delivery staffing model rather than a subcontracting platform.

Diversified Reporting Services operates with a registered federal presence dating to January 2002, holding NAICS 561492 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services) as its primary classification, with secondary activity under 561110 (Temporary Help Services) and 561410 (Document Preparation Services) reflecting its portfolio breadth. The company's deep positioning across DOJ grand jury networks, SEC investigations, diplomatic security, and federal inspectors general demonstrates institutional stickiness in specialized federal legal operations where documentation continuity and security clearance maintenance create switching costs.
