Rutkowski Court Reporting LLC

Rutkowski Court Reporting LLC, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Marquette, Michigan, provides grand jury court reporting and transcription services to the U.S. Attorney's Offices as a prime contractor exclusively. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and limited liability company, competing under woman-owned small business set-aside designations on recent awards and full-and-open competitive procedures on prior years' renewals.

Rutkowski Court Reporting's entire federal footprint consists of six awards, all with a single customer: the Department of Justice's U.S. Attorney's Offices, Western District of Michigan, with $120 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor delivers real-time transcription, legal documentation, and same-day to ten-business-day turnaround grand jury reporting services supporting federal judicial proceedings in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Work scope includes qualified court reporter personnel with appropriate security clearances, Department of Labor wage rate compliance, and comprehensive security controls for handling classified grand jury materials.

Recent work includes a delivery order award on May 1, 2026, valued at $10,675 for grand jury court reporting services under a woman-owned small business set-aside, and a single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the same funding agency running through April 30, 2031, with a ceiling of $89,375. The IDIQ carries four optional one-year extension periods and guarantees a minimum $1,000 order during contract lifetime, structured on time-and-materials commercial-item pricing. Prior annual awards from July 2022 through June 2025 ranged from $3,757.50 to $7,607.50, reflecting consistent annual renewals over the past four fiscal years.

Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award per year from 2021 through 2024, with two awards in 2026 — and customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value flow through the Department of Justice. One award ($11 thousand potential value) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure.
