Gawo MD Yacob

Gawo MD Yacob, a sole proprietorship based in Lincolnwood, Illinois, provides independent medical case file reviews and disability claim evaluations to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under open competitive (non-set-aside) blanket purchase agreements. Dr. Yacob operates exclusively within the SSA's Medical Contractors program, conducting between 220 and 800 independent disability claim case reviews per task order to support the agency's disability benefits determination process in SSA Region 5 (Chicago).

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated with a single agency. The Social Security Administration accounts for all 32 awards and the full $4.5 million in combined potential value across the source data window. This extreme concentration reflects a specialized, single-customer consulting relationship rather than a broad federal footprint. Dr. Yacob has maintained this exclusive SSA engagement since 2010, with recent activity showing a steady two awards per year (2022 through 2026).

Work is performed through three active blanket purchase agreements, all with the SSA. The primary vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0540014 (ceiling $2.188 million), which carries 11 task orders valued at $498 thousand combined. A second BPA (SS05164C011) supports ten task orders worth $550 thousand, and a third BPA (SS051140128) covers eight task orders worth $383 thousand combined. Individual call orders typically range from $15,000 to $82,000 in firm fixed-price value, with the most recent award (July 1, 2026) valued at $82,467 and running through June 30, 2027. A prior call from April 2, 2026, valued at $15,147, completed on June 30, 2026.

Activity has remained flat and narrow — two awards per year across the five-year window — with only one award ($82 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete in that window. The vendor does not subcontract and holds no sub-awards. Work is categorized under NAICS 541211 (Offices of Physicians, except Mental Health Specialists) and primarily under PSC Medical-Medical/Psychiatric Consultation. Dr. Yacob is a licensed medical professional and registered SAM.gov entity with no small business set-aside certifications; all awards are full-and-open competitive procurements.
