About this award

Talas Engineering, Inc., a specialized technical consulting firm based in Hayward, California, has been awarded a time and materials purchase order by the U.S. Attorney's Offices for expert witness services with a ceiling value of $52,460.45. The contract, awarded on September 19, 2025, extends through September 18, 2027, and does not utilize a set-aside designation, indicating that the award was made through unrestricted competition. Under this contract, the company will provide expert witness and technical engineering services to support federal litigation activities, drawing on its core competencies in accident reconstruction, biomechanics analysis, and comprehensive technical evaluations that assist Department of Justice attorneys in investigating and preparing complex legal cases.

Led by Dr. Elaine R. Serina, Ph.D., P.E., Talas Engineering has an established track record of serving as a critical technical consulting partner exclusively to the DOJ through multiple time and materials purchase order contracts. The company's engagement with the U.S. Attorney's Offices reflects the broader DOJ mission to support federal prosecution efforts through specialized scientific and technical expertise. This award represents a direct prime contract relationship, consistent with the company's historical pattern of serving as a prime contractor rather than in a subcontractor capacity across its federal contract portfolio.
