Barbara A Cochran M.d.

Barbara A Cochran M.D., a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Freeland, Maryland, operates as a medical consultant delivering independent disability claim case-file reviews to the Social Security Administration under the Headquarters Medical Consultants BPA as a prime contractor. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing exclusively in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire award footprint.

The vendor's customer base is singular and concentrated: the Social Security Administration accounts for 35 of 37 total awards (95% of recent activity) and the entire $11.3 million combined potential value. All work falls within NAICS 8111 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists) and PSC Medical codes, with the overwhelming majority of task orders (21 awards) classified under Medical-Medical/Psychiatric Consultation and 15 under Medical-Other. Dr. Cochran's capability is narrowly focused on independent clinical review of SSA disability determination case files, rendering between 1,150 and 2,800 case reviews per task order, supplemented by occasional non-case consultations. Recent examples include a $221,430 BPA call awarded June 5, 2026, running through May 31, 2028 under the Total Small Business set-aside; a $246,060 call awarded June 1, 2024, for 2,550 independent case reviews plus ten non-case consultations; and a $275,136 call awarded June 1, 2023, for 2,800 case reviews plus ten non-case reviews.

The vendor operates under four parent BPAs with SSA. The primary vehicle, Blanket Purchase Agreement SS001140125, carries nine task orders valued at $1.3 million combined potential value. Three additional SSA BPAs support the remaining task orders: Indefinite Delivery Contract SS000960086 (11 task orders, $207 thousand), Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0040012 (7 task orders, $1.4 million), and Blanket Purchase Agreement SS00164C008 (6 task orders, $759 thousand). Activity has been sparse and flat — one award per year in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, with two awards in 2026 — and the recompete cliff is minimal, with only one award completing within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $221 thousand). Of the $11.3 million combined potential value across all awards, $3.7 million (33%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the long-tail nature of ongoing task-order execution across multiple SSA BPAs.
