About this award
Alexander Merkler, MD PLLC, a small business medical practice based in Valatie, New York, was awarded a $24,375 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order on April 30, 2026, to provide expert medical witness and consultation services for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This firm fixed price contract, set aside for total small businesses, is expected to be completed by March 29, 2027. The award represents a task order issued under the vendor's larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity BPA with Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Headquarters, valued at $7.5 million and running through August 31, 2027. The VICP, administered by HRSA within the Department of Health and Human Services, provides a no-fault system for compensating individuals allegedly injured by vaccines, and this contract supports that mission by delivering specialized medical expert analysis and evaluation services.
Under this call order, Alexander Merkler, MD PLLC will conduct medical expert reviews and provide professional consultation and testimony related to vaccine injury claims processed through the VICP. The firm's core expertise in vaccine-related injury evaluations positions it as a critical service provider for federal vaccine injury assessment and legal proceedings. The use of a BPA call mechanism allows HRSA to efficiently access specialized medical expertise on an as-needed basis to evaluate the medical evidence supporting individual vaccine injury compensation claims, with each task order reflecting the complexity and time requirements of specific case reviews.
