Forensic Environmental Services Inc.

Forensic Environmental Services Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Exton, Pennsylvania, provides expert witness services and environmental litigation support to the Department of Justice as a prime contractor exclusively, competing in open market procurements without set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation registered in SAM since 2012, operating entirely as a direct federal prime (100% of recent awards).

The Department of Justice dominates Forensic Environmental Services Inc.'s customer base completely. The Environment and Natural Resources Division accounts for 26 awards valued at $1.8 million combined potential value, while the Civil Division holds 4 awards worth $617 thousand, representing 100% of the vendor's federal footprint across two customer divisions within a single agency. Both divisions rely on the vendor for identical services — expert consultation, analysis, reports, and courtroom testimony — across environmental and natural resource litigation matters, with no subcontract activity or work outside the Department of Justice.

Recent representative contracts demonstrate consistent engagement on expert witness matters. The vendor holds a $276.2 million purchase order from DOJ Civil Division (awarded March 18, 2022, extending through March 17, 2027) for expert witness services on a time-and-materials basis. The Environment and Natural Resources Division awarded a $180.25 thousand purchase order on March 26, 2024 (extending through June 30, 2028) and a $124.25 thousand purchase order on May 19, 2023 (extending through April 30, 2028). Most recently, on February 25, 2026, the Environment and Natural Resources Division awarded a $97.75 thousand purchase order (extending through February 1, 2031) for the same expert witness scope. All contracts are time-and-materials purchase orders with no set-aside designation.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor averaged 3.2 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, but received only one award in 2025 and one in 2026, down from seven in 2024. Combined potential value stands at $2.4 million with $2.2 million already obligated (93% execution rate). Ten awards worth $1 million combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, representing immediate recompete risk. The vendor carries zero subcontract relationships and no parent contract vehicles, operating entirely on individual DOJ purchase orders renewed periodically across a single customer agency.
