Robinson Lois & Associates Inc.

Robinson Lois & Associates Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Mobile, Alabama, provides grand jury and deposition court reporting and transcription services to the Department of Justice as a prime contractor through a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement with no recourse to small business set-asides despite its WOSB designation.

Robinson Lois & Associates operates almost entirely within a narrow federal customer base. The top two customers account for 93% of recent awards: the Department of Justice's U.S. Attorney's Offices (9 awards, $556 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Justice's Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (3 awards, $8 thousand combined potential value). The remaining portfolio includes minor exposure to FEMA Region 4 and the Department of Homeland Security. This concentration around a single federal office—the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Alabama—makes the vendor's footprint highly localized and customer-dependent.

The vendor's primary vehicle is a single-award IDC established February 1, 2022, with the Department of Justice U.S. Attorney's Offices, carrying a $215.3 thousand ceiling through January 31, 2027. Five delivery orders have been issued under this IDC to date, with individual order values ranging from $19.7 thousand to $62.7 thousand, all issued under time-and-materials pricing. A secondary blanket purchase agreement with the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys has generated two task orders totaling $8 thousand. Recent representative work includes a $45.9 thousand delivery order awarded February 1, 2026, for grand jury and deposition court reporting services in Mobile, Alabama, scheduled for completion January 31, 2027; a $18.8 thousand order from February 1, 2025; and a $62.7 thousand order from February 1, 2024.

Activity has been sporadic. Robinson Lois received two awards in 2022 (the IDC award and an initial delivery order), then one award per year in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with one award in 2026. The vendor's combined federal potential value across all 15 awards over its capture window sits at $571 thousand, with $150 thousand obligated (26% of potential value). One award—the $45.9 thousand delivery order currently in performance—faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. Robinson Lois operates as a 100% prime contractor; no subcontract footprint appears in the source. Work is performed exclusively in Mobile, Alabama, under the primary NAICS category Court Reporting and Stenotype Services (13 awards) and the PSC Support-Administrative: Court Reporting (14 awards).
