About the company
Highland Economics LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Portland, Oregon, provides expert witness services and economic consultation focused on water rights, tribal resource negotiations, and natural resource litigation to the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under small-business set-asides. The firm operates as a limited liability company and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business; recent work centers on expert witness testimony, value-of-water analysis, and economic damages assessments for federal water rights and environmental litigation matters.
Highland Economics has built customer concentration with two agencies. The Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division accounts for 17 awards and $1.2 million in combined potential value; the Department of the Interior's Office of the Secretary (the Indian Water Rights Office) accounts for 13 awards and $973 thousand, with one additional award from the Bureau of Land Management and one from the Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Region. The two rankings align — both are law-and-interior-water-focused — and together account for 100% of the vendor's award footprint. Recent representative work includes a $92,540 expert witness services task order for DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division running through September 30, 2030; a $75 thousand time-and-materials expert witness task order for the same DOJ division through February 1, 2029; a $39,600 value-of-water economic consultation purchase order for the Department of the Interior's Indian Water Rights Office completed in March 2024; and a $33,630 water rights settlement economic analysis purchase order for the Interior Secretary's office awarded April 14, 2026 with completion by June 30, 2026. Six task orders carry $211 thousand in combined potential value under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IND16PC00250).
Activity has been modest and flat — three awards in 2022 and 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with a combined potential value of $2.6 million across 33 total awards and $2.1 million in obligated dollars. The firm works exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract engagement. Two awards carrying a combined $255 thousand in potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Highland Economics' capability portfolio is narrowly specialized: expert witness testimony (13 awards under PSC support-professional-expert-witness), environmental and water resources economic analysis (12 awards spanning environmental-consulting-services and environmental-assessments), and legal consulting on natural resource disputes. The firm's federal footprint reflects a niche practice anchored to tribal water rights negotiation support and environmental litigation defense for the federal government's primary law and interior-resources customers.
