Notice of Intent to Acquire AMA Subscription

The Social Security Administration is seeking to renew its annual subscription to the American Medical Association Doctor's Profiles Online database, which provides comprehensive background information on physicians including their education, specialized training, licensure, certifications, and sanctions. This database serves a critical function for the Agency's disability hearings and adjudication processes, supporting both the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review and the Office of Disability Determinations in claims processing and reducing the disability case backlog. The solicitation represents a renewal of services previously contracted under Purchase Order SS00-16-50136, indicating an established relationship with the current provider. The posting date is September 10, 2025, with responses due by September 16, 2025, providing a notably brief six-day response window. The evaluation criteria and specific qualifications for this procurement are not detailed in the available notice.

This opportunity operates without any set-aside designations, making it available to all eligible contractors in the marketplace. The contract period of performance spans one year from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, maintaining the annual subscription model established in the previous contract arrangement. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation notice, the reference to the prior purchase order suggests this represents a continuation of existing services rather than a new procurement initiative. The contract falls under NAICS code 513120 for Periodical Publishers and PSC category R612 for Support-Administrative Information Retrieval services. The place of performance and specific quantities are not specified in the available documentation, though the service appears to be accessible online given the database nature of the subscription.
