Rajat DEO

Rajat DEO, a minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, provides expert witness and litigation consulting services to the Department of Justice's Criminal Division as a prime contractor on non-set-aside purchase orders. The vendor is Subcontinent Asian American-owned, for-profit, and has operated exclusively with a single federal customer across four awards since March 2023.

Rajat DEO's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. All four awards come from the DOJ Criminal Division, spanning expert witness testimony and litigation consulting on time-and-materials purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The awards carry combined potential value of $166 thousand, with $129 thousand obligated as of the source date (78% obligation rate). Representative work includes a $51,500 purchase order for litigation consulting services (awarded March 3, 2026, completion March 2, 2027), a $65,262.74 expert witness services order (awarded November 29, 2024, completion July 30, 2025), and a $48,882.84 expert witness services order (awarded March 7, 2023, completion March 6, 2024). Work is performed in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania under time-and-materials pricing, with the vendor available on an as-needed basis to analyze case evidence and present findings in criminal litigation.

Customer concentration is absolute: the DOJ Criminal Division accounts for all four awards and 100% of combined potential value. Activity is sparse and episodic — two awards in 2023, one in 2024, and one in early 2026 — with no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or larger IDVs in the footprint. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside history. One award (the $51,500 litigation consulting order) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing $52 thousand in recompete exposure. Rajat DEO has no subcontract footprint and operates as a sole proprietor rather than as a multi-employee firm.
