Elss Executive Reporting, LLC

Elss Executive Reporting, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Stevensville, Maryland, provides grand jury and deposition court reporting services to the Department of Justice as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition on a $380 thousand IDIQ contract and related BPAs. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) across nineteen federal awards spanning court reporting and stenotype services (NAICS 561492, PSC Support—Administrative: Court Reporting).

Elss's customer footprint is concentrated almost entirely within the Department of Justice. The Executive Office for US Attorneys and the US Attorney's Offices account for 100% of combined potential value across four distinct customer agencies—$887 thousand with the Executive Office for US Attorneys (four awards) and $500 thousand with the US Attorney's Offices (thirteen awards). A single outlier award of $530 from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 and a $2 thousand award from the Department of the Army round out the active set. The concentration is severe: the DOJ represents the entirety of the vendor's federal footprint.

Elss holds position on three parent vehicles, all within the DOJ. The primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 15JA0522D00000139, against which five delivery orders (combined potential value $159 thousand) have been placed; a second IDIQ, DJJ17DEOA020016, carries five task orders totaling $106 thousand; and Blanket Purchase Agreement DJJ17XEOA020106 accounts for four task orders valued at $493 thousand. The $380 thousand IDIQ awarded June 6, 2022, through June 5, 2027, has generated four delivery orders to date—$25 thousand (June 2022–June 2023), $32 thousand (option year one through June 2024), $30 thousand (June 2024–June 2025), and $25 thousand (June 2026–June 2027, awarded June 6, 2026, one month ago). All work is performed at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Wheeling, West Virginia.

Activity is minimal and flat. One award was issued in 2026, one in 2025, one in 2024, one in 2023, and two in 2022; combined potential value across all nineteen awards is $1.4 million, with only $331 thousand obligated (24% draw). A single delivery order ($25 thousand) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore faces potential recompete. The vendor has no subcontract footprint; 100% of work is performed as prime.
