FY26-Zoning-Court Reporting and Transcript Services

The District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of the Office of Zoning, is soliciting proposals for as-needed court reporting and transcription services. The contractor will be responsible for attending, recording, and transcribing approximately 75 late afternoon Zoning Commission events per fiscal year, including hearings, meetings, and forums. All services will be paid on a fixed-cost basis, with a contract term running from the date of award through September 30, 2027. The contractor must provide all necessary equipment, such as microphones and recording machinery, and deliver electronic transcripts within 11 calendar days of each event. Transcripts must strictly adhere to National Court Reporter Association formatting guidelines, requiring standard 8.5 x 11 paper with at least 25 typed lines per page and a detailed index. Award evaluation is based solely on the pricing chart, though offerors must submit a sample transcript page for technical analysis prior to award. Administrative requirements include submitting payment requests via the DC Vendor Portal, adhering to District of Columbia non-discrimination and confidentiality laws, and providing a W-9 and PASS Master Supplier Form for registration. Preference is given to Certified Business Enterprises and Small Business Enterprises.
