Natural Resources Consulting Engineers, Inc.

Natural Resources Consulting Engineers, Inc. (NRCE) is a for-profit organization based in Oakland, California, specializing in expert witness and litigation support services for federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 1999, the company primarily focuses on providing consulting services related to environmental protection, public lands, wildlife, and water infrastructure matters. NRCE has established itself as a key provider of technical expertise and professional services to federal government entities, with a particular emphasis on legal and technical consulting for environmental and natural resource-related challenges.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards, predominantly from the U.S. Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division, for expert witness services. These contracts, typically structured as time and materials purchase orders, range in value from $50,000 to $866,180 and have performance periods extending through 2030. NRCE's contract awards are not set aside for specific business types, indicating the company competes openly in the federal marketplace. The majority of their federal contract work involves providing expert witness and litigation support services, with a strong focus on environmental and natural resource legal matters. These contracts demonstrate NRCE's specialized capabilities in offering technical expertise to support federal litigation and consulting needs.

NRCE holds a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Global Architecture Engineer Services III multiple award IDIQ vehicle. This $800 million, 7-year contract enables NRCE to compete for task orders providing worldwide architecture and engineering services, including infrastructure planning, design, construction supervision, and capacity building across sectors such as energy, transportation, and water. The original solicitation was a partial small business set-aside, which broadens NRCE's potential for task order competitions. This IDC represents a strategic expansion of the company's service offerings beyond its core expert witness and litigation support work, positioning NRCE to pursue international infrastructure and engineering opportunities through the USAID contract vehicle.

NRCE is a civil, environmental, and water resources consulting engineering firm. Our services range from appraisal-level feasibility studies to detailed engineering design reports, investigations, and expert witness testimony.
