Gainor ESQ Carl

Gainor ESQ Carl, a sole proprietorship operating from Ocala, Florida, provides expert witness and litigation support services to federal law enforcement and justice agencies as a prime contractor with no small business set-aside designation. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements, serving as an individual contractor rather than a staffing or consulting firm.

Gainor ESQ Carl's federal work centers on pharmaceutical and healthcare subject matter expertise for criminal investigation and prosecution. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused: professional pharmacy expert witness services, expert witness consulting for specific DEA pharmaceutical investigations, and legal support services. Recent representative work includes a $30,500 purchase order awarded by the Drug Enforcement Administration on July 30, 2025, for professional pharmacy subject matter expert and expert witness services over a one-year performance period in Ocala, Florida; a $17,000 purchase order from DEA effective July 30, 2026, also for professional pharmacy SME services through July 2027; and a $2,730 firm-fixed-price expert witness consulting engagement from DEA for the Olde Philly Pharmacy investigation (case designation CK-25-2017), awarded June 6, 2025.

Customer concentration is acute. The Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 10 of 16 total awards and $75 thousand of the $98 thousand combined potential value across the vendor's recent portfolio — 77% by count and 76% by dollars. The Department of Justice's U.S. Attorney's Offices generated 3 awards worth $12 thousand, and the Civil and Criminal divisions collectively contributed 3 awards worth $11 thousand, covering the remaining 100% of the award set. The vendor serves four distinct Justice Department customer offices in total.

Activity has remained modest and flat. The vendor received one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one through mid-2026. Combined potential value across all sixteen awards is $98 thousand, with 100% of that amount obligated. One award carries an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months, valued at $17 thousand, creating minimal recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a solo practitioner with no subcontract relationships and no positions on government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs.
