Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0140002

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Lipski Marcia, a woman-owned small business, to provide Regional Medical Advisor (RMA) services in physical medicine for the agency's Boston regional office. The BPA, initially solicited in January 2021 as a total small business set-aside, allows the SSA to efficiently obtain medical review services on an as-needed basis through call orders. Under this BPA, Lipski Marcia has been issued multiple call orders to perform a variety of medical consultant services, including independent case reviews, non-case medical consulting hours, and Resource Management Center case reviews, primarily focused on supporting the SSA's disability determination processes. The call orders range in value from $9,894 to $184,209.62 and typically have one to two year periods of performance, with work locations in Boston and Winchester, Massachusetts.

The contracted services under this BPA are critical to the SSA's Review of Medical Evidence program, as Lipski Marcia provides specialized expertise in physical medicine to support the agency's disability determination processes. The BPA has an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, and its flexible structure allows the SSA to issue task orders as needed to obtain the required medical consulting services for its Boston regional office.
