Benson PHD Pe Craig H

Benson PHD Pe Craig H, a sole proprietor self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Verona, Wisconsin, provides expert witness services and forensic accounting support to the Internal Revenue Service as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements, with secondary work for the Environmental Protection Agency. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes outside set-aside vehicles — all six IRS awards carry no set-aside designation despite the vendor's small disadvantaged business status.

IRS litigation support dominates the customer footprint with 100% concentration. The Internal Revenue Service has issued six awards valued at $1.9 million in combined potential value, compared to two EPA awards totaling $8 thousand. The IRS work spans expert witness testimony for tax litigation, forensic accounting, IRS audit defense, tax abatement analysis, and syndicated conservation easement cases. Recent representative awards include a $614,778 definitive contract for expert witness services awarded April 7, 2025 (ultimate completion April 6, 2030), a $257,584 definitive contract for forensic accounting and litigation support awarded February 18, 2025 (ultimate completion February 17, 2030), a $249,333 purchase order for expert witness services awarded June 17, 2026 (ultimate completion June 16, 2031), and a $249,194 purchase order awarded March 27, 2026 (ultimate completion March 26, 2031). A single $422,178 purchase order from June 27, 2023 reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represents the vendor's recompete exposure window. The EPA awards are minimal in scope and frequency — two $5 thousand and one $3 thousand research and consulting engagements — and do not signal material business development priority.

Activity is sparse and irregular: one award in 2012, one in 2015, then a gap until 2023, followed by two awards in 2025 and two in 2026. Combined potential value stands at $1.9 million with $1.3 million obligated (67% draw-down). The vendor operates as a specialized expert witness and forensic accounting consultant rather than as a systems integrator or broad-based service provider, with NAICS concentration split between Engineering Services (4 awards) and Environmental Consulting Services (3 awards), and PSC coding predominantly under Support-Professional: Expert Witness (6 awards).
