Pritchett, Ball & Wise, Inc.

Pritchett, Ball & Wise, Inc., an Atlanta-based for-profit professional services firm, provides expert witness testimony, real estate appraisals, and litigation support consulting to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates in full-and-open competition without set-aside designations across its entire federal portfolio.

The firm's capability portfolio centers on expert witness services for tax litigation, property valuation and appraisal work, and conservation easement analysis. The Internal Revenue Service dominates the customer base — 33 awards valued at $3.3 million (82% of combined potential value) — spanning tax-related litigation support, real estate expert testimony, and conservation easement valuations. Recent representative awards include seven labor-hour purchase orders from the IRS between March and April 2026 for expert witness services in active litigation matters, each valued between $103 thousand and $173 thousand with five-year performance periods ending in 2031; a $231 thousand time-and-materials purchase order from IRS Chief Counsel (June 2022) for conservation easement expert witness services; and a $115 thousand firm fixed-price contract from IRS Chief Counsel for real estate valuation expertise (May 2022). The Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division ranks second with four awards valued at $311 thousand, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region third with thirteen awards valued at $159 thousand, primarily for property appraisals and expert assessments.

The vendor's award portfolio spans 68 prime contracts without IDVs or government-wide vehicles. Activity shows uneven year-over-year distribution — one award in 2021, eleven in 2022, eight in 2023, one in 2024, and seven in 2026 — reflecting case-driven demand from the IRS rather than steady-state contracting. Ten awards valued at $1.2 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. The portfolio is concentrated in two NAICS categories: Offices of Real Estate Appraisers (47 awards) and All Other Legal Services (11 awards), with supporting PSC codes tracking expert witness services (38 awards) and real property appraisals (26 awards). The firm has maintained an active federal contractor registration since May 2001 and delivers work primarily from Atlanta, Georgia, with some performance in Knoxville, Tennessee and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
