Hertzberg Richard C

Hertzberg Richard C, operating as the Richard Hertzberg Division, is a sole proprietorship based in Atlanta, Georgia, that provides expert witness services and environmental consulting to federal agencies on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontractor engagement or teaming relationships across its recent award footprint.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated within two Department of Justice divisions and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Justice Management Division and the Environment and Natural Resources Division together account for eight of twelve total awards and $1.7 million of the $2 million combined potential value. The Environment and Natural Resources Division leads by award count (five awards, $760 thousand), while the Justice Management Division leads by potential value (three awards, $941 thousand). The EPA Office of Research and Development rounds out the active set with four awards carrying $268 thousand in combined potential value, reaching 100% of the vendor's award portfolio.

Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 541600 (All Other Legal Services) on seven awards and includes expert witness services and litigative consulting. Recent awards include a $798,811 time-and-materials purchase order from the Justice Management Division for expert witness services (July 20, 2026, ultimate completion February 1, 2031), a $318,918 expert witness services order from the Environment and Natural Resources Division (February 15, 2024, completion February 1, 2029), and a $288,139 expert witness services order from the Environment and Natural Resources Division (September 25, 2024, completion February 1, 2029). All purchase orders operate on time-and-materials pricing and are performed in Atlanta, Georgia or Concord, Massachusetts.

Activity has been sporadic but recently elevated. The vendor recorded one award in 2016 and one in 2019, then two awards each in 2023 and 2024, with four awards placed in 2026. Only one award (combined potential value $40 thousand) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, placing minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2008 and carries no SCI-reportable invoiced revenue in the source's FY2024–FY2025 coverage window, reflecting the specialized, often small-dollar nature of expert witness and consulting work that may fall below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or be structured outside service-contract inventory reporting conventions.
