Amin Shams

Amin Shams, a sole proprietorship based in Columbus, Ohio, provides expert witness services to the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service as a prime contractor on time-and-materials and labor-hours purchase orders carrying no small business set-aside designation.

Amin Shams holds three federal awards totaling $262 thousand in combined potential value, all placed as prime contracts over the past eighteen months. Two awards derive from the U.S. Attorney's Offices: a $84.7 thousand purchase order for expert witness services (awarded April 22, 2026, completion April 21, 2027, performance in Columbus, Ohio) and a $64.8 thousand purchase order for expert witness services (awarded April 17, 2026, completion April 16, 2027, performance in Upper Arlington, Ohio). A third award comes from the Internal Revenue Service: a $112.5 thousand purchase order for expert witness testimony in a cryptocurrency trial under a multi-phase contract structure, modified August 15, 2025, to activate Phase 4 with performance running through August 14, 2030, in Upper Arlington, Ohio. All three awards use expert-witness support (PSC code Support—Professional: Expert Witness) as their primary service category.

Customer concentration is split between two agencies. The U.S. Attorney's Offices place two awards worth $150 thousand combined potential value; the IRS places one award worth $113 thousand. Two of the three awards (combined potential value $150 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore expose the vendor to recompete activity. Activity consists of one award in 2025 and two in 2026; the combined dollars obligated across all awards reach $256 thousand, representing 98% of the combined potential value ceiling. Amin Shams operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
