Trauner Consulting Services, Inc.

Trauner Consulting Services, Inc., a Philadelphia-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, delivers construction claims analysis, expert witness services, scheduling expertise, and litigation support to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The vendor competes across 195 prime awards spanning two decades, with no subcontractor footprint and no SBA certifications; recent activity shows consistent volume—10 to 13 awards per year from 2022 through 2026—against $47.4 million in combined potential value and $21.4 million in obligated dollars across 38 distinct customer agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward transportation and veteran infrastructure. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration dominates by both award count and dollars: 35 awards valued at $23.2 million (49% of total potential value) anchor the portfolio, representing forensic schedule delay analysis, claims expertise, and litigation support for highway and infrastructure projects. The Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for the second-largest concentration across multiple service networks and the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management: VISN 12 holds 27 awards ($3.6 million), VA Construction and Facilities Management holds 15 awards ($5.1 million), VISN 6 holds 10 awards ($856 thousand), and VISN 10 holds 7 awards ($1.3 million). Together, the top five customers (by potential value coverage of 72%) are Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management, VISN 12, VISN 10, and VISN 16. This two-customer concentration—FHWA and the VA system—reflects Trauner's specialization in infrastructure claims and expert services rather than broad-based federal service delivery.

Trauner holds two principal single-award IDIQs with Veterans Integrated Service Networks. VISN 10's $700,180 Northern Tier indefinite-delivery contract (awarded January 3, 2023, running through January 2, 2028) has generated delivery orders ranging from $37,860 to $122,419 for claims and schedules analysis supporting non-recurring maintenance projects at Northern Tier VA medical centers in Milwaukee, Madison, Iron Mountain, and Philadelphia. VISN 12's $700,180 Southern Tier indefinite-delivery contract (awarded November 22, 2022, running through November 29, 2027) has generated similar task orders in Hillside and Hines, Illinois, with orders such as a $117,118.72 delivery for claims and schedules analysis (April 2026) and a $79,759.87 expert witness delivery for claims support (September 2024). The GSA Multiple Award Schedule serves as Trauner's dominant vehicle across the broader customer base: 64 task orders valued at $10.6 million span expert witness testimony, claims analysis, scheduling, and technical assessments across the VA, General Services Administration, National Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of Justice. Trauner also holds positions on multiple FHWA-issued IDIQs, including contract DTFH6102D50008 with 11 task orders ($1.4 million) for forensic critical path analysis and schedule delay studies on federal highway projects.

Recent representative work includes a $184,050 time-and-materials purchase order from the Department of Justice Civil Division (awarded July 7, 2026) for expert witness services in litigation; a $263,694 delivery order from the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management (March 17, 2026) for claims and schedule analysis and litigation support with rebuttal reports and deposition preparation; and a $80,534 delivery order from the National Park Service (December 1, 2025) for expert services addressing structural deficiencies at Crater Lake National Park's visitor center. Earlier awards include a $293,481 delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (May 13, 2022) for expert witness services, and a $297,014 definitive contract with GSA Region 8 (September 7, 2023) for expert consulting services on the Building 48 Modernization Project at the Denver Federal Center.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years (4 awards in 2022, growing to 13 in 2024, then moderating to 10 in 2026), with 13 awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio reflects its expert-services positioning: rates span $73.53/hr for scheduling assistants (high school, entry-level) through $367.70/hr for Expert Witness 3 (bachelor's degree, 30 years' experience), with midpoint pricing around $167–$233/hr for claim analysts and expert witnesses carrying bachelor's degrees and mid-career experience. Service Contract Inventory data is limited to two records totaling $428 thousand in FY2023 invoicing across 0.4 FTEs—a small window into Trauner's federal services activity that reflects the threshold-reporting bias of SCI (contracts above $150,000) and excludes goods, products, and smaller task orders characteristic of expert witness and consulting engagements.

Trauner operates exclusively as a prime, with zero subcontractor presence across the award footprint, delivering all work through its own labor. The vendor's primary NAICS concentration sits in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (67 awards) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (40 awards), with supporting work in Professional and Management Development Training (28 awards) and Engineering Services (14 awards). The dominant PSC category is Support Professional Expert Witness (40 awards), followed by Education/Training Development (36 awards), Support Professional Personal Services (18 awards), and Support Professional Legal (12 awards). This classification mix underscores Trauner's role as a specialized expert services and litigation-support vendor rather than a systems integrator or prime on large infrastructure contracts.
