Fife Kenneth H MD

Fife Kenneth H MD, a sole-proprietorship medical practice based in Novato, California, provides specialized medical expert services to the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, evaluating vaccine injury claims for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). Dr. Fife operates exclusively under small-business set-aside designations across his federal award footprint and does not subcontract.

Customer concentration is extreme. HRSA accounts for 56 of 57 total awards (98% of combined potential value of $798 thousand), with a single award from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rounding out the customer base. This represents thirty-plus years of sustained engagement with HRSA since 1995, reflecting Dr. Fife's established role as a trusted medical professional in adjudicating complex vaccine injury petitions under the agency's no-fault compensation mandate. The work is structured as firm fixed-price task orders issued against three active Blanket Purchase Agreements: the largest vehicle (HHSH250201500013B) carries 28 task orders worth $67 thousand combined potential value; 75R60221A00087 holds 10 task orders worth $53 thousand; and 75R60219A00016 holds 15 task orders worth $29 thousand. Individual task orders typically range from $1,875 to $9,375 in value. Representative recent awards include a $9,375 BPA call order for vaccine injury claim review and expert medical determinations (awarded April 13, 2026, completion March 12, 2027), a $1,875 call order for VICP medical expert services (June 5, 2025), and a $3,000 call order for medical review and adjudication support (September 23, 2024).

Activity volume is flat to declining. Dr. Fife received one award in 2022, three in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the episodic nature of individual case assignments rather than sustained prime contracts. Only one award (combined potential value $9 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Dr. Fife's work is classified under NAICS 541610 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists) and PSC Support — Professional: Expert Witness, framing his role as a specialized medical consultant rather than a service delivery contractor. The modest scale — $798 thousand in combined potential value across fifty-seven awards over thirty years — reflects the niche nature of medical expert services for individual VICP cases.
