About the company
Bates White, LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based for-profit limited liability company, delivers economic consulting, expert witness services, and litigation support to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside activity. Founded in 1987, the firm specializes in expert testimony, forensic accounting, economic analysis, and statistical analysis in support of regulatory enforcement, litigation, and investigative activities across federal agencies.
The firm's customer base concentrates heavily on civilian legal and regulatory agencies. The Federal Trade Commission leads by both award count and dollar volume, holding 38 awards valued at $65.9 million combined potential value, driven by recurring engagements for economic consulting supporting antitrust, consumer protection, and enforcement initiatives. The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service ranks second by dollars at $35.1 million across 13 awards, centered on expert witness services for transfer pricing, tax litigation, forensic accounting, and IRS audit defense. The Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions collectively represents $42.7 million across 36 awards split among the Civil Division ($11.6 million, 24 awards), Antitrust Division ($22.4 million, 8 awards), Tax Division ($8.7 million, 4 awards), and U.S. Attorney's Offices ($2 million, 11 awards). These five customer segments account for 87 percent of combined potential value. Award concentration by category reflects the specialized nature of the work: 115 awards carry the PSC "Support- Professional: Expert Witness," with remaining work classified as legal support, economic analysis, and technical consulting under NAICS codes for legal services and scientific consulting.
Recent activity shows contraction after a 2022 peak. Award volume climbed from 6 in 2024 to 8 in 2025, then fell to 6 in 2026 (as of late September). Combined across all 152 awards in the source data spanning 1987 to 2026, potential value stands at $164.4 million with $123.6 million obligated. However, 9 awards valued at $16.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in FTC, IRS, and DOJ Civil Division customer relationships.
Service Contract Inventory data capturing federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold shows SCI-reportable invoicing of $33.6 million across FY2022–FY2024, growing from $5.7 million (5.0 FTEs) in FY2022 to $14.9 million (13.1 FTEs) in FY2024. Across these SCI-prime records, median government-paid rates ran around $577/hr, with 10th-percentile labor at $483/hr and 90th-percentile senior labor at $748/hr. The vendor self-performed all reported SCI work with zero subcontractor engagement on a contract-hours basis, indicating a fully captive, in-house delivery model rather than a teaming or subcontracting strategy. This aligns with Bates White's posture as a 100-percent-prime contractor across its federal footprint.
Contract vehicles are sparse in the source data; one parent IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Contract HSSS0109A0084) appears with 4 task orders valued at $237 thousand. The vast majority of Bates White's work is awarded as direct definitive contracts, purchase orders, or labor-hour agreements, rather than through government-wide acquisition contracts or agency BPAs. Recent definitive contracts with the FTC (four contracts awarded in August and September 2026 valued at $15.5 million combined) and IRS (multiple expert witness agreements through 2030) represent the current contract pipeline. The firm operates exclusively from its Washington, D.C. headquarters and competes as an unrestricted, full-and-open contractor with no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other SBA certification.
