Lori O May

Lori O May, doing business as May Court Reporting, a woman-owned small business based in Chelsea, Alabama, provides grand jury and deposition court reporting services to the U.S. Attorney's Offices as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and competes exclusively under the small business set-aside category across its federal footprint.

May Court Reporting holds three active single-award IDIQs with the U.S. Attorney's Offices, two of which were recently awarded or recompeted. The first IDIQ, awarded July 1, 2024, carries a $843.626 million ceiling through June 30, 2029, and the second, awarded May 1, 2024, carries a $167.7 thousand ceiling through April 30, 2029. A third earlier IDIQ, originally valued at $712,142.50, supported task orders through June 30, 2029. Under these vehicles, the vendor issues recurring delivery orders for court reporting services to support the Middle District of Alabama's grand jury proceedings and depositions. Representative work includes a time-and-materials delivery order dated July 1, 2026, with a ceiling of $111,913.50 (performance through June 30, 2027), a $111,113.75 delivery order from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and a $156,132.50 delivery order from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. All work is priced on a time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price basis and performed in Chelsea, Alabama.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 12 awards across May Court Reporting's footprint fund U.S. Attorney's Offices programs under the Department of Justice, and the vendor has no other federal customers. Combined potential value across all awards is $2.4 million, with $913 thousand obligated to date (39% of potential value). The three parent IDIQs account for the entire prime portfolio: the July 2024 IDIQ supports three task orders with $356 thousand combined potential value, the May 2024 IDIQ supports three task orders with $97 thousand combined potential value, and an earlier vehicle supports three task orders with $379 thousand combined potential value. Activity remains steady but modest — one award in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, and two in 2025 and 2026 — with two awards totaling $147 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the primary recompete exposure in the near term.
