About this opportunity
HRSA is soliciting quotes to establish blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for medical expert and medical case reviewer services supporting the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) litigation, including defense of petitions filed against the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Set-aside is Total Small Business. Amendment P0001, posted August 21, 2026, changes the due date to "no end date," superseding the August 24, 2026 closing date in the description, and quotes are reviewed as received with BPAs issued on a rolling basis. The notice's structured due date field reads August 20, 2031. Vendors must acknowledge Amendment P0001 before submitting offers.
Place of performance is North Bethesda, Maryland 20852. Work includes obtaining and reviewing case files, preparing draft and final reports, responding to interrogatories, and potentially providing court testimony. Medical case reviewers must have at least five years of experience reviewing vaccine-administration and vaccine-injury cases, plus general medical claims review experience such as utilization review, disability review, or independent medical examinations. Reviewers must hold current medical licenses and credentials. The work requires background investigations, personal identity verification, data security and privacy protections, conflict-of-interest mitigation, and a signed non-disclosure agreement, with case records destroyed within 30 days of adjudication or closure. Contractors must be registered in SAM.
The parent BPA period is five years, and individual call orders run 11 months. Case reviews typically require 12 to 15 hours each, with expected volume of zero to five cases per reviewer monthly. Several hundred call orders have been issued annually, with the greatest demand in neurology, orthopedics, and immunology.
The BPA ceiling is $7.5 million. Hourly rates are $375 for medical experts, $175 for case reviewers holding MD or DO degrees, and $125 for case reviewers holding PhDs or other advanced degrees. Individual order limits range from $125 to $100,000. The government anticipates awarding an unspecified number of BPAs, with orders distributed by qualifications.
The solicitation lists NAICS 621111, Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists). Amendment P0001 adds NAICS 541611 and identifies the award type as firm-fixed price. No incumbent or evaluation criteria are stated in the source.
