MD C.ortijo, Benjamin JR.

MD C.ortijo, Benjamin JR., a Hispanic American-owned and minority-owned sole proprietorship based in Brooklyn, New York, provides independent medical case reviews and disability case evaluations to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements, competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's footprint is narrowly concentrated: Social Security Administration accounts for 41 of 42 awards (98% of award count, $14.2 million of combined potential value). MD C.ortijo operates exclusively under SSA's Regional Medical Contractors program, conducting independent medical examinations and case file reviews to support the agency's disability adjudication process across multiple regions. The vendor holds four active BPAs with SSA covering Regions 2, 3, and 4, with the largest vehicle being the $2.1 million Region 2 BPA (through December 2025), followed by the $2.0 million Region 3 BPA (through July 2026) and the $1.0 million Region 4 BPA. Call orders issued against these vehicles account for the overwhelming majority of contract activity. Representative recent work includes a $325,184 call order for regional medical consultant services supporting SSA's Region 2 operations (awarded March 2024, completed March 2025), a $240,820 call order for 650 independent medical case reviews at SSA's New York Regional Office (awarded April 2025, completed April 2026), and a $223,890 BPA call for medical consultant services supporting the disability adjudication program in New York (awarded July 2026, completing June 2027).

The top four parent BPA vehicles carry 33 of the vendor's 42 awards, with Blanket Purchase Agreement SS021140074 accounting for 16 task orders ($1.1 million combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement SS02164C008 for 9 task orders ($758 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0240007 for 7 task orders ($1.4 million). Activity has declined substantially over the past five years, from a peak of 2 awards annually in 2022 down to 1 award each in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with 2 awards in 2026. The vendor faces minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months, with only one award reaching completion in that window (combined potential value $224 thousand). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $4 million against a combined potential value of $14.3 million, reflecting the call-order structure of SSA's procurement model. Work is performed in Brooklyn, New York, supporting SSA disability case file reviews under NAICS 541211 (Offices of Physicians) and PSC Medical codes.
