J.s. Held LLC

J.S. Held LLC is a multidisciplinary consulting firm headquartered in Jericho, New York, that specializes in providing expert witness services, forensic consulting, and technical advisory support to federal government agencies. As a large for-profit organization classified as a Limited Liability Company and registered in SAM.gov since May 2017, the company delivers specialized expertise across multiple disciplines including construction consulting, property damage assessment, forensic architecture and engineering, accident reconstruction, economic analysis, and environmental health and safety services. J.S. Held LLC has established itself as a primary provider of litigation support and expert testimony to the federal government, with its service portfolio heavily concentrated on supporting federal agencies in their enforcement, litigation, and investigative activities.

J.S. Held LLC has received extensive federal contract awards totaling millions of dollars, predominantly from the Department of Justice, including its U.S. Attorney's Offices, Civil Division, and Environment and Natural Resources Division. The company's contract work centers almost exclusively on expert witness services delivered through time and materials purchase orders and definitive contracts, with individual awards ranging from approximately $3,740 to $1.5 million. Notable contracts include a $1,516,675 expert witness services award from the Civil Division; multiple six-figure contracts from the Environment and Natural Resources Division ranging from $40,500 to $193,000; and a $650,125 definitive contract from the Securities and Exchange Commission for expert witness services extending through September 2030. Beyond the Department of Justice, J.S. Held LLC has received contracts from the Securities and Exchange Commission for expert witness services valued at $423,472.50, $176,485, and $98,375; from the Department of Defense for expert services under labor-hours and definitive contract structures totaling $152,520 and $671,840; and from the Department of Veterans Affairs for emergency facility work valued at $115,556.78. All contracts were awarded without small business set-aside designations, reflecting the company's status as a large business. The expertise provided includes accident reconstruction analysis performed by specialists such as David Danaher; economic analysis and damages quantification; forensic engineering assessments; and general litigation support across civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings. J.S. Held LLC consistently serves as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractor relationships in the provided award documentation.

J.S. Held LLC's involvement in federal grant programs is minimal compared to its extensive federal contracting presence. The company received a single federal grant sub-award from the City of Indianapolis on June 1, 2021, under an unspecified prime grant program, whereby J.S. Held LLC was engaged to provide consulting services for the Old Southside Steering Committee to guide the Lift Indy grant process. This sub-award represents the company's only documented participation in federal grant-funded initiatives within the provided documentation and demonstrates limited engagement with federal grant programs relative to its substantial federal contracting portfolio. Unlike its comprehensive contract work supporting federal litigation and enforcement activities, J.S. Held LLC's grant participation appears to focus on community planning and economic development consulting at the local government level rather than direct federal grant prime awardee relationships.
