Hudgins Lane

Hudgins Lane, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Carbondale, Illinois, provides expert witness services to the federal government as a prime contractor competing without set-aside designations. The vendor operates at a micro scale — twelve total awards since 2015 with combined potential value of $233 thousand and combined obligated dollars of $207 thousand — and has not held parent IDVs, GWACs, or BPA vehicles.

Hudgins Lane's entire customer footprint concentrates on two Department of Justice offices. The Environment and Natural Resources Division accounts for ten awards totaling $104 thousand combined potential value; the US Attorney's Offices place one award for $30 thousand. A single award from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for $99 thousand rounds out the active set. The DOJ Environment and Natural Resources Division work dominates by both award count and dollars, with six purchase orders explicitly cited for expert witness services supporting environmental law enforcement and litigation. Representative work includes a $22,340 purchase order for expert witness services awarded April 14, 2026 (most recent), with performance in Murphysboro, Illinois through February 1, 2031; a $29,736 order from US Attorney's Offices awarded May 29, 2025 for expert witness services in Fairview Heights, Illinois through May 28, 2027; and an $18,018 order from the DOJ Environment and Natural Resources Division awarded December 5, 2022. All awards use time-and-materials pricing and carry no small business set-aside designation.

Activity remains episodic — one award in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting a low-volume, steady referral base rather than sustained pursuit of new work. One award (the US Attorney's Offices order) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying recompete exposure of $30 thousand. Hudgins Lane operates as a solo prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no visible teaming relationships in the source data. The vendor's capability portfolio, grounded entirely in award history, centers on environmental litigation support and expert witness testimony for federal agencies.
