Eckles David L

Eckles David L, a sole proprietorship based in Athens, Georgia, provides expert witness testimony and specialized tax law consulting to the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice Tax Division as a prime contractor on full-and-open, unset-aside basis. The vendor operates without subcontractors and competes exclusively in unrestricted procurement, with all seventeen recent federal contract awards assigned to PSC "Support - Professional: Expert Witness."

The vendor's customer footprint is concentrated almost entirely with the IRS. Sixteen of seventeen awards derive from the Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service, accounting for $8.1 million of the $8.4 million combined potential value across all awards; the Department of Justice Tax Division accounts for one award valued at $280 thousand. This concentration reflects the highly specialized nature of Eckles David L's practice — expert witness support for IRS litigation, with particular depth in micro-captive insurance taxation, tax regulation analysis, and economic evaluation of complex tax transactions. Recent representative work includes a $2.671 million definitive contract for expert witness services awarded May 13, 2024 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029); a $2.232 million definitive contract for expert witness services awarded June 17, 2026 (ultimate completion June 16, 2031); and a $612,660 definitive contract for expert witness services awarded June 6, 2023 (ultimate completion June 5, 2028). All contracts employ labor-hours pricing and incorporate FAR clause 52.222-90 in accordance with Executive Order 14398.

Activity has been intermittent but recent — two awards in 2021, two in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only one award ($613 thousand in combined potential value) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor has secured approximately $5 million in obligated dollars against the $8.4 million combined ceiling, representing 60% utilization. Eckles David L's contract portfolio demonstrates deep IRS institutional knowledge and sustained government recognition of specialized tax law expertise; the vendor has maintained this customer relationship continuously since 2016, with nine of ten earlier federal awards originating from IRS Chief Counsel prior to the awards listed in this source.
