Cummings, Dana

Cummings, Dana, a sole proprietorship based in Homewood, Pennsylvania, provides medical expert services for vaccine injury compensation programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The vendor specializes exclusively in medical case review, analysis, and documentation preparation supporting the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).

Customer concentration is absolute: all 36 awards in the source footprint are issued by HHS Health Resources and Services Administration Headquarters, representing $8.2 million in combined potential value. The vendor operates as sole proprietor performing all work at a single location in Homewood, Pennsylvania, with no subcontract activity. Recent awards exemplify the vendor's operational model: a $24,375 BPA call issued on June 26, 2026, for VICP medical expert services under total small business set-aside with performance due by May 25, 2027; an $18,750 BPA call on September 2, 2026, for medical case reviewer services supporting VICP with performance due by August 1, 2027; and individual case-by-case task orders ranging from $2,250 to $16,000 spanning case numbers 18-0915, 19-0915, 20-1559, and 21-1155.

The vendor holds two primary blanket purchase agreement vehicles with HRSA. The most recent, established May 20, 2026, carries a $7.5 million ceiling running through May 19, 2031, and supports both VICP and CICP medical expert services. The predecessor BPA (75R60221A00046) accumulated 29 task orders worth $161 thousand in combined potential value; BPA 75R60220A00003 carried 2 task orders valued at $9 thousand; and BPA 75R60226A00015 held 2 task orders valued at $43 thousand. The vendor's award frequency peaked at 11 task orders in 2024 before declining to one award in 2025 and four in 2026 year-to-date. Three awards totaling $54 thousand in potential value complete within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Only $213 thousand of the $8.2 million combined potential value has been obligated, indicating the BPAs function as on-call vehicles with task orders issued on an as-needed basis for individual VICP case adjudication support.
