About the company
Kaufman & Associates, Inc., doing business as Godepo, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana, that provides verbatim certified transcripts, video conferencing, and court reporting services for federal litigation and investigative proceedings as a prime contractor exclusively — the vendor holds no subcontract positions and competes full-and-open without set-aside designation.
Godepo's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Justice. The top three DOJ offices account for 96% of all awards: the U.S. Attorney's Offices (34 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value), the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (5 awards, $190 thousand), and the Civil Rights Division (8 awards, $97 thousand). The remaining portfolio includes single awards from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Social Security Administration, and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. The U.S. Attorney's Offices dominates both award count and dollar concentration — 34 awards represent 67% of the total portfolio, and that customer anchors $1.9 million (79%) of the combined potential value.
Godepo operates primarily through five single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Department of Justice, each carrying an annual delivery-order cycle. The largest vehicle is an IDC with the U.S. Attorney's Offices (contract number DJJ17DEOA020139) supporting grand jury and deposition court reporting through April 30, 2027, with a $340.9 thousand ceiling. Four delivery orders under this IDC, issued annually each May 1st, total $234.8 thousand (approximately 69% of ceiling utilization). Representative recent work includes a $71.5 thousand delivery order for grand jury and depositions court reporting issued by the U.S. Attorney's Offices on May 1, 2026 (ultimate completion April 30, 2027), a $24.6 thousand delivery order issued May 1, 2025, and a $50.6 thousand delivery order issued May 1, 2024. The Civil Rights Division maintains a secondary IDC valued at $209.7 thousand for related services. All work is performed in Shreveport, Louisiana, on a time-and-materials pricing basis.
Activity has declined year over year — four awards in 2022 to one award in each of 2025 and 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $72 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Godepo's award portfolio spans from 2007 to present, indicating a long-standing vendor relationship with DOJ, but the recent trajectory suggests declining or seasonal order volume within a narrow, stable customer base.
