Candilis Philip

Candilis Philip, a sole proprietorship operated by Dr. Philip J. Candilis, MD, DFAPA, provides medical expert witness and litigation support services to federal law enforcement and justice agencies as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation. The vendor is registered as an "other not-for-profit organization" in SAM.gov and is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with work performed in Franconia, Virginia. Primary NAICS classification centers on Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists (16 of 27 awards), with secondary activity under All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services; PSC coding concentrates on Support—Professional: Expert Witness (23 of 27 awards).

Candilis Philip's federal customer footprint is hyperconcentrated: the Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 25 awards (93% of volume) and $252 thousand of the combined potential value, with the Department of Justice Criminal Division providing 2 awards valued at $15 thousand. This 100% concentration within DOJ reflects a specialized niche — Dr. Candilis provides medical file reviews, expert testimony preparation, trial support, and litigation consultation specifically in support of DEA diversion control program investigations and prosecutions targeting prescription drug trafficking and abuse. Recent representative work includes a $8 thousand purchase order for subject matter expert services awarded August 24, 2026 (ultimate completion August 17, 2027); a $4 thousand medical consultation and expert witness services order from April 2025 (completed May 14, 2026); a $12 thousand litigative support contract from the Criminal Division awarded April 4, 2025 (completed April 3, 2026); and a $36 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order for expert witness trial preparation and testimony from the DEA awarded September 1, 2024 (completed September 19, 2025).

The vendor's award trajectory is volatile and declining in volume. Five awards were issued in 2022, dropping to one in 2023, recovering to four in 2024, then falling to two in 2025 and one in 2026. Combined potential value stands at $266 thousand across all 27 awards, with $168 thousand obligated (63% of potential). Two awards carrying $23 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Candilis Philip operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. All awards are labor-hour or time-and-materials purchase orders without parent vehicle placement, indicating direct tasking by agency requestors rather than positioning on government-wide contracts or BPAs.
