Cortes, Jennifer A

Cortes, Jennifer A, a woman-owned, minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship based in Caguas, Puerto Rico, delivers independent medical case reviews and psychological evaluations to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations.

Cortes holds the Regional Medical Consultant (RMC) Recompete BPA with SSA, awarded July 8, 2022, with a ceiling value of $2,045,300.00 and ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. The primary work involves reviewing disability claim case files to inform the SSA's Office of Disability Determinations' Resource Management Centers, with deliverables typically structured as firm fixed-price orders for 1,100 to 1,200 independent case reviews per call. Representative recent call orders include a $199,365 award on June 16, 2026, for 2,100 independent case reviews supporting disability claim adjudication in the Northeast Region (Sub-Region 2), a $156,272 call on May 2, 2025, for additional independent case reviews in the Northeast Region (New York), and a $113,652 call on January 1, 2026, for 1,200 independent case reviews. All work is performed in Caguas, Puerto Rico.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Social Security Administration accounts for 100 percent of Cortes's federal awards across all award types and all time periods in the source. Total awards number 43 (all prime, none sub), with combined potential value of $6.6 million and combined obligated dollars of $2.7 million (40 percent of potential). Award activity has remained flat to minimal over the past five years — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — reflecting the call-order structure of the underlying BPA rather than new prime vehicle wins. The vendor sits on five SSA BPAs across its award history, with the RMC Recompete vehicle (BPA SS10251120040) anchoring 17 task orders carrying $202 thousand in combined potential value; Cortes also executes work under four other SSA blanket purchase agreements for related medical consulting services.

Within the next twenty-four months, only one award ($199 thousand potential value) has an ultimate completion date, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The RMC Recompete BPA itself extends through December 31, 2027, meaning Cortes's primary contract vehicle remains active and callable throughout the planning horizon. Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 541210 (Offices of Mental Health Specialists) — 37 of 43 awards — with secondary NAICS 541211 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists) covering six awards. PSC coding breaks as Medical (Medical/Psychiatric Consultation) for 18 awards and Support (Professional Expert Witness) for 13 awards, reflecting the psychological evaluation and case-review nature of the work.
