About this opportunity
The Department of Energy, Office of Headquarters Procurement Services, awarded a sole-source contract to Highspring Holdings LLC for litigation support services on August 11, 2026, under a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.
The Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security requires independent expert analysis of a decrement claim brought against a DOE contract. Highspring Holdings was determined to be the only responsible source capable of satisfying the Government's requirements. Market research identified ten firms with relevant expertise in government contract accounting, Cost Accounting Standards, and federal litigation support; however, Highspring Holdings was the sole firm identified with no actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest, demonstrated willingness to perform the required analysis, and capacity to mobilize a qualified Subject Matter Expert within the compressed timeframe required.
The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price award with performance from August 15, 2026 through November 15, 2026. Deliverables include written expert opinion, supporting workpapers, litigation briefings, and deposition or testimony if requested. Required qualifications include at least ten years of experience in government contract cost analysis or auditing, demonstrated expert witness experience in federal litigation, and expertise in decrement rate methodology.
The contract value is redacted. No public notice was posted to SAM.gov due to the contract value falling below the simplified acquisition threshold and the sensitive nature of active litigation support and attorney work product. NAICS 541211 (Offices of Certified Public Accountants); PSC R499 (Support—Professional: Other).
