Court Reporting

This is a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside solicitation for court reporting services issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, an office within the Department of the Treasury, under solicitation number 2031JW26R00003. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Unit Price with a Not-To-Exceed total amount and includes a five-year base period extended by four optional periods, with a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8. Services encompass verbatim transcription, real-time captioning, video recording, and associated deliverables requiring 95% transcript accuracy, 98% real-time captioning accuracy, 100% on-time delivery, and strict compliance with Section 508 accessibility standards. Offerors must demonstrate corporate experience with financial regulators, EEOC or MSPB proceedings, and nationwide operational capability. Past performance is evaluated for relevance and recency within the last five years, and price is assessed for fairness and reasonableness, with trade-offs permitted between technical merit and cost under a best-value acquisition strategy—not LPTA. All work must be performed by U.S.-based personnel, with no data processed outside the country, and strict adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and FIPS 140-3 encryption standards. Contractors must execute Non-Disclosure Agreements and comply with PIV authentication for facility and system access. Deliverables must be submitted electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and include monthly workforce reports and initial staffing plans as specified in attachments. Performance is centered in Washington, D.C., with services potentially occurring nationwide. The solicitation requires a five-volume proposal with specific page limits for corporate experience and nationwide approach sections, and mandates certification of WOSB status under NAICS 561492 with a $34 million size standard. Additional requirements include CUI labeling, data destruction protocols, and immediate incident reporting for breaches. All submissions are subject to SAM.gov registration, UEI and CAGE code validation, and compliance with whistleblower rights, subcontracting restrictions, and prohibitions on inverted domestic corporations. Amendments to the solicitation, including revised attachments and extended deadlines, are documented and supersede prior versions.
