Pritchett, Ball & Wise, Inc.

Pritchett, Ball & Wise, Inc., an Atlanta-based for-profit professional services firm, provides expert witness testimony and real estate appraisal services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 69 awards spanning multiple decades. The firm competes in full-and-open markets without set-aside designation; its customer concentration is heavily skewed toward litigation and valuation work for civilian agencies, particularly the Internal Revenue Service, and the firm has no subcontract footprint.

The company's capability portfolio centers on two primary service lines: expert witness services for federal tax litigation (39 awards under PSC Support–Professional: Expert Witness) and real estate appraisal and valuation services (26 awards under PSC Support–Professional: Real Property Appraisals). Recent representative work includes a $173,072.75 labor-hour purchase order from the IRS (awarded April 14, 2026) for expert witness services on the Discover Resources federal tax case, a $145,705.75 IRS purchase order (August 3, 2026) for expert witness services, and a $231,108.43 Time and Materials purchase order from the IRS (June 13, 2022) for conservation-easement expert witness services. Earlier appraisal work includes a $6,750 tract appraisal for the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 Southern Region (March 17, 2024) and a $19,575.01 appraisal and expert witness engagement with the IRS for a Monroe County, Georgia property matter (August 1, 2023). The firm has also served the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division on environmental and property-valuation matters.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Internal Revenue Service, which accounts for 34 of 58 awards (84% of portfolio coverage by count) and $3.5 million of the combined $4.1 million potential value across all awards. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8 Southern Region places 13 awards ($159 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division anchors 4 awards ($311 thousand) — a smaller volume but material-dollar anchor. Top-customers-by-count and top-customers-by-potential-value rankings align closely, with the IRS dominance in both dimensions; the Department of Justice ranks third by count but second by dollars.

Award activity shows volatility: one award in 2021, a spike to 11 awards in 2022, eight in 2023, one in 2024, and eight in 2026. Pritchett, Ball & Wise has registered in SAM since May 2001 and carries combined potential value of $4.1 million with $3 million obligated (72% execution rate). Twelve awards with combined potential value of $1.5 million are set to complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity for competitors and recompete risk for the vendor. The firm holds no position on GWACs, IDIQs, or multi-agency vehicles; all work is structured as individual purchase orders under agency-specific negotiations. Primary NAICS coding reflects offices of real estate appraisers (47 awards) and all-other legal services (12 awards), grounding the vendor's market position in specialized valuation and litigation-support professional services for federal tax administration and property matters.
