Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0940044

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Peter L. Lee, MD, a minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business, to provide regional medical consultant services in support of the agency's disability programs in Region 9, which covers the San Francisco area. Under this $2,667,520 BPA with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025, the SSA issues call orders for Dr. Lee to review disability claim case files and provide independent medical assessments to determine eligibility for Social Security disability benefits. This specialized medical expertise helps the agency efficiently process large volumes of disability claims in the San Francisco region. The BPA was awarded on a firm-fixed price basis without any set-aside designations. To date, multiple call orders totaling over $315,000 have been placed against this vehicle, making it the primary contracting instrument the SSA uses to procure Dr. Lee's services for its regional disability operations.

The original solicitation was a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the SSA in November 2020 for 56 Regional Medical Consultants to support a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement in Region 9 (San Francisco). This RFQ was set aside for small businesses. The BPA awarded to Dr. Lee in April 2021 is the result of this competitive procurement, under which the SSA continues to issue call orders for his specialized medical review services to assist with the agency's disability programs in the San Francisco area.
