Escribers, LLC

Escribers, LLC, a Phoenix-based limited liability company, is a transcription and court reporting services provider operating as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across federal agencies, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The company has maintained federal contracting relationships since its SAM registration in May 2011 and holds a subsidiary, Hunt Reporting Co.

Escribers' capability portfolio centers on court reporting and transcription services across legal, administrative, and tax proceedings. The concrete service offerings include daily transcripts, real-time transcripts, expedited transcripts (7-day and 14-day variants), standard 30-day transcripts, certified transcripts for U.S. Tax Court proceedings, and general transcription support. Representative work spans a $2.7 million single-award BPA with the Internal Revenue Service (established June 1, 2022, running through March 31, 2027) that has generated 35 task orders valued at $1.7 million; a $743,624 delivery order with the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review under the EOIR Transcription Services 2018-2019 IDIQ; and a $3.54 million purchase order with the National Labor Relations Board for court reporting services across approximately 400–425 hearings and 50 depositions annually spanning all 34 NLRB regions and Puerto Rico (awarded October 1, 2022, running through September 30, 2027).

Customer concentration sits heavily with the IRS, which accounts for 124 of 158 recent awards but represents only $5.6 million of the combined $86 million potential value. The gap reflects the portfolio's high-volume, low-dollar-per-order structure under the IRS BPA—individual call orders range from approximately $2,400 to $250,000. By potential value, the Executive Office for Immigration Review dominates at $71.5 million across six awards, driven primarily by the IDIQ vehicle. The Merit Systems Protection Board (7 awards, $1.2 million) and the National Labor Relations Board (2 awards, $7.1 million) round out the top four agencies. These four agencies account for 99% of combined potential value.

Escribers' vehicle footprint includes the IRS single-award BPA (35 task orders, $1.7 million), the EOIR Transcription Services 2018-2019 master IDIQ (5 task orders, $5.5 million), and smaller BPA arrangements with the Merit Systems Protection Board (2 task orders, $17 thousand) and the Treasury Inspector General (1 task order, $3 thousand). The company also holds direct purchase orders with the District of Columbia Courts, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Center, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Award activity has grown modestly—18 awards in 2024 to 28 in 2025—but five awards totaling $4.3 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. The NAICS profile is dominated by 541492 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services), representing 132 of 158 awards, with secondary exposure in 541499 (Document Preparation Services, 16 awards). PSC coding reflects 129 awards under "Support–Administrative: Transcription" and 24 under "Support–Administrative: Court Reporting."

On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory above the $150,000 threshold, Escribers reported $2.3 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $1.3 million, 5.8 FTEs; FY2023: zero invoicing; FY2024: $978 thousand, 3.5 FTEs). This SCI data represents only a partial slice of the company's federal services activity—the bulk of Escribers' award volume falls below the SCI reporting floor. On SCI-reportable contracts, the company delivered self-performed labor exclusively, with zero subcontractor hours. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $28.02/hr to a 90th percentile of $162.55/hr, with a median of $84.01/hr, reflecting a mix of court reporters, transcriptionists, and administrative support staff at varying skill levels. The company operates as a self-performing prime on its federal contracts, bringing no notable teaming partners or subcontractor footprint.
