About this vehicle
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) established a Master BPA on September 18, 2015, to retain a pool of licensed medical experts for consultation and courtroom testimony on medical issues pertaining to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP); ordering under this vehicle closed on June 30, 2019.
This vehicle is no longer active for new task orders. All 246 task orders awarded under the BPA have been obligated against the $966 thousand combined potential value, representing 100 percent utilization. The most recent award occurred on June 27, 2019, more than seven years ago. Annual ordering peaked in 2017 and 2018, when the BPA generated 74 and 80 orders respectively, before tapering to 40 orders in the final ordering period of 2019.
The scope consists entirely of individual medical expert engagements for case review, witness testimony, and expert consultation related to specific VICP cases. Task orders are typically firm fixed price with individual case ceilings ranging from $600 to $24,500, with most individual orders falling between $1,200 and $17,500. Larger orders averaging $24,500 were issued for multi-case medical case reviewer tasks; most other orders compensate single-case expert consultation or testimony.
Awards are concentrated among a small set of licensed medical experts. Forsthuber Thomas G leads by order count with 50 awards totaling $193 thousand in combined potential value, followed by Gelfand Jeffrey with 33 orders ($87 thousand) and Kruer Michael C with 27 orders ($96 thousand). The top five individual experts account for approximately 63 percent of all task orders and 69 percent of combined potential value. All 246 task orders are designated Total Small Business set-asides, and all orders fund HRSA directly with no customer concentration.
