About the company
Kennedy Court Reporters Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Santa Ana, California, provides court reporting and transcription services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards in the prime role. The firm operates as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation registered in SAM.gov since 2017 and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles, though set-aside use is infrequent—only 4 of 49 recent awards carried a Total Small Business designation.
The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated and mission-focused. The Internal Revenue Service accounts for 41 of 49 awards ($160 thousand combined potential value) across court reporting services for depositions, interviews, oral reply hearings, and arbitration proceedings. The Department of Justice US Attorney's Offices holds 7 awards ($999 thousand combined potential value), anchored by a $21.2 million firm fixed-price delivery order for deposition court reporting services with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2023, and a $10.7 thousand ratification for litigation support including certified transcript copies and digital packages. A single $4 thousand award from the Department of the Army Expeditionary Contracting Command in Alaska rounds out the three-agency footprint. The two rankings diverge sharply—Justice's fewer awards (7) carry significantly higher potential value ($999 thousand) than IRS's higher volume (41 awards, $160 thousand)—signaling that Justice orders are larger and less frequent while IRS work is smaller and routine.
Recent activity shows sharp growth into 2024 followed by sharp contraction. The vendor secured three awards in 2022, seven in 2023, and twenty-seven in 2024, then dropped to five in 2025 and two in 2026. The $999 thousand combined potential value in Justice awards carries elevated recompete exposure, particularly the $21.2 million delivery order completing September 30, 2023—which has already passed ultimate completion. Kennedy Court Reporters Inc. holds a seat on a single identified indefinite delivery contract (15JA0518D00000576) with five task orders carrying $27 thousand combined potential value, suggesting limited leverage through vehicle concentration.
Concrete work is exclusively court reporting and related litigation support. Representative IRS awards include a $39.4 thousand ratification for court reporting and transcription services in Boston (August 2026), a $12.3 thousand total small business set-aside for four days of court reporter services in San Diego (July 2024), and a $11.4 thousand firm fixed-price order for deposition documentation on June 18 and June 20, 2024. Justice work centers on depositions and transcript services ranging from $563 to $21.2 million per order. Performance locations span California (Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Fresno, Three Rivers, Glendale), Massachusetts (Boston), Washington DC, North Carolina, Colorado, and Texas, with both in-person and remote (Microsoft Teams) service delivery. Pricing structures vary—firm fixed-price predominates, with occasional time-and-materials and hourly arrangements. The combined potential value across all forty-nine awards stands at $1.2 million, with only $163 thousand obligated (14% of potential), indicating many awards are ratifications of unauthorized commitments or small, transactional purchase orders completed quickly after award.
Kennedy Court Reporters Inc. operates with no subcontractor footprint across the recent award set. The vendor competes entirely as a prime and carries no identifiable parent company relationships or major sub relationships in the source material.
