About the company
Talas Engineering, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Hayward, California, provides expert witness and technical engineering analysis services exclusively to the Department of Justice as a prime contractor, with no subcontractor relationships and no use of set-asides across its federal footprint. The firm specializes in accident reconstruction, biomechanics analysis, and comprehensive technical evaluations to support federal litigation activities, with service delivery led by Dr. Elaine R. Serina, Ph.D., P.E., the company principal.
Talas Engineering operates in a narrow but deep federal niche. The Department of Justice accounts for 100% of the vendor's recent awards: the U.S. Attorney's Offices hold 88 awards worth $2.6 million in combined potential value, the Civil Division holds 12 awards worth $452 thousand, and the Environment and Natural Resources Division holds 1 award worth $28 thousand. All 101 recent prime awards carry the same PSC classification (Support—Professional: Expert Witness), with 87 awards falling under NAICS 541900 (All Other Legal Services) and the remainder under technical-services categories. Talas Engineering competes full-and-open on every award; no set-aside category is used across the portfolio. Contract structure is uniformly time-and-materials purchase orders, with ceiling values typically ranging from roughly $1,400 to $130,500, and performance locations split between the company's Hayward headquarters and customer sites including Chicago, Illinois and Brooklyn Heights, New York.
Activity has remained steady year over year — 17 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 19 in 2024, declining to 10 in 2025 and 5 in 2026 year-to-date through June — yielding a combined potential value of $3.1 million across the entire footprint, with $3 million already obligated. Twenty-seven awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Representative recent work includes expert witness services for Remsik v. USA (U.S. Attorney's Offices, $65,455, awarded June 2026), accident reconstruction and biomechanics analysis for Santiago v. USA (U.S. Attorney's Offices, $47,637, awarded June 2024), and a $130,488 expert witness engagement in accident reconstruction and biomechanics (U.S. Attorney's Offices, awarded June 2023). Talas Engineering maintains an exclusive contracting relationship with DOJ dating to at least 2013 and delivers all services directly from company personnel without external subcontractor reliance.
