Michael Cremerius PHD

Michael Cremerius PHD, a sole proprietorship based in Oak Brook, Illinois, provides independent medical reviews of disability claim case files to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under full-and-open federal procurement, with no set-aside posture and 100% of recent awards concentrated with a single customer agency.

Cremerius operates exclusively within SSA's Medical Contractors program, conducting independent medical evaluations to support the agency's disability determination process in Region 5 (Chicago). The contractor has maintained continuous federal engagement since December 2003 and operates as an individual medical consultant delivering firm fixed-price task orders under multiple blanket purchase agreements with SSA. Recent representative call orders include a $198,000 BPA call (July 2026) for medical consultant reviews running through June 2027, a $187,110 call order (July 2025) for independent disability case reviews through April 2026, and a $246,015 call order (July 2023) under the larger single-award BPA vehicle. Individual task orders historically range from roughly $29,555 to $246,015 and cover between 304 and 2,300 independent case reviews per order.

Customer concentration is absolute: SSA accounts for 56 of 57 awards (98% by count, 97% by combined potential value) across $8 million in combined potential value. Cremerius sits on four active SSA Medical Contractors BPAs—SS10631150044 (19 task orders, $365 thousand combined potential value), SS051140110 (12 task orders, $1.2 million), 28321321AC0540039 (11 task orders, $1.6 million), and SS05164C008 (9 task orders, $1.4 million)—and operates exclusively under these vehicles with no sub-award footprint.

Activity has remained flat at approximately two awards per year over the past five years, with fifty-seven total awards since 2005 and $5.1 million obligated against $8.3 million in combined potential value (61% obligation rate). One award with a ceiling of $198,000 faces completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the contractor's established position within SSA's disability determination infrastructure. NAICS concentration reflects medical consulting work: Offices of Physicians and Mental Health Specialists dominate the category breakdown, with primary PSC coding under Medical–Medical/Psychiatric Consultation and Support–Professional/Expert Witness services.
