About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Hemantha Surath MD, a sole proprietorship medical practice based in Glenview, Illinois, to provide regional medical contractor services supporting the SSA's disability determination programs in Region 5 (Chicago area). The parent BPA, awarded March 19, 2021, carries a ceiling value of $3,069,680 with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2028. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, the SSA has issued numerous call orders for independent medical case reviews, non-case consultative services, and medical training to support disability claim adjudication. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price agreement with no small business set-aside designation, though the original solicitation was posted as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity in October 2020. Dr. Surath's work involves comprehensive evaluation of medical evidence contained in disability claim case files to assist the SSA in making accurate eligibility determinations under its disability programs, with individual task orders ranging from approximately $1,100 for non-case service hours to $155,000+ for large batches of independent case reviews.
The call orders issued under this BPA demonstrate consistent utilization of Dr. Surath's services across multiple fiscal years, with documented task orders totaling over $500,000 to date. Representative call orders include contracts for 1,600 independent case reviews ($155,552), 1,440 independent case reviews ($142,560), 640 independent case reviews ($63,360), medical lectures and training on body system listings (24 hours, $2,688), and non-case consultative services ranging from 12 to 150 hours. Performance takes place primarily in Glenview, Illinois, with some task orders executed in Chicago, Illinois. The sustained volume of call orders under this BPA indicates the SSA's ongoing need for medical expertise in evaluating the medical evidence underlying Social Security disability claims in the Midwest region, with Dr. Surath serving as a key regional medical resource for the agency's Office of Disability Determinations through the contract period extending into 2028.
