The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee is soliciting quotes for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide Grand Jury Court Reporting Services in Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Greeneville. This acquisition is a Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561492. The scope of work involves producing original transcripts of Grand Jury testimony with varying delivery turnarounds, including next business day, three business day, and ten business day options. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, the contractor must adhere to strict security protocols, including the double-wrapping of transcripts in opaque layers, specific marking requirements for Grand Jury materials, and compliance with NIST SP 800-88 for media sanitization. The contract features a base period from March 1, 2027, to February 29, 2028, with multiple option periods extending through February 29, 2032. Award will be based on the best value solution, with technical capabilities and past performance weighted as significantly more important than price. Technical evaluation focuses on the qualifications of at least two proposed court reporters, while past performance requires up to three references from the last three years. Quotes must be submitted in three separate volumes, including a technical proposal and a pricing schedule, to Contracting Officer Brandon Wish by November 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern.
