Escribers

City-funded organization

Escribers holds New York City Department of Education contracts for court/hearing recording and transcription work; the vendor matches eScribers, LLC, a company founded in 2005 that describes itself as a leader in recording, reporting, and transcription services for courts and government agencies, with an office in Manhattan. Its current $41 million DOE contract, titled "Recording, Reporting and Transcription Services.," is a renewal not put out for fresh bid, following an earlier $5.0 million DOE contract for "Recording, Reporting and Transcription Services for the DOE" that was awarded by competitive sealed bid (2016 to 2021) and a $3.5 million renewal of that same-titled contract that also went unbid. Across the three DOE contracts since 2016, 90% of the $49 million in total contract value ($44 million) was won without a fresh competitive bid.
