Lesofski Court Reporting, Inc.

Lesofski Court Reporting, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Helena, Montana, provides court reporting and transcription services to the Department of Justice as a prime contractor on time-and-materials purchase orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and delivers stenographic and transcription services—including grand jury reporting, deposition reporting, and transcript preparation—directly without major subcontractors.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Justice. The U.S. Attorney's Offices account for 94% of recent awards (10 awards, $118 thousand combined potential value), with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service rounding out the active set at one and four awards respectively. The two customer rankings align; DOJ dominates both volume and dollars. Recent work includes a $24.3 thousand purchase order from U.S. Attorney's Offices awarded September 1, 2025, running through August 31, 2026; a $17 thousand order from the same customer dated September 1, 2024; and a $9.784 thousand order set-aside for woman-owned small businesses dated September 1, 2023. The most recent award—a $6.8 thousand purchase order from U.S. Attorney's Offices dated April 16, 2026, with ultimate completion February 16, 2027—exemplifies the vendor's engagement pattern: small-dollar, time-and-materials orders supporting regional litigation operations in the Helena area.

Award activity is steady and modest. The vendor has received one purchase order per year for the past five years, with a combined potential value across all sixteen awards of $129 thousand. Two awards (combined potential value $31 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore recompete candidates. The vendor's work falls primarily under NAICS 541612 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services) and PSC Support-Administrative Court Reporting. Historical awards indicate that some prior DOJ engagements were set-aside for woman-owned small businesses, though recent orders carry no set-aside designation.
