HE, You Wen

HE, You Wen, a Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based sole proprietorship and minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small business, provides specialized medical expert consulting and case review services to the federal government as a prime contractor on vaccine injury and medical countermeasure compensation programs, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The vendor holds a highly concentrated, single-customer relationship anchored to the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration.

HE, You Wen's federal work centers on medical case review, expert witness testimony, and written medical opinions supporting the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). Representative work includes approximately 186 BPA calls to HRSA for VICP medical expert services case reviews ranging from $1,125 to $31,875 per task order; 11 time-and-materials purchase orders from the Department of Justice Civil Division for expert witness services, typically $3,000 to $14,991 per order; and one $6,000 BPA call from HRSA's National Hansens Disease Program Clinical Research Center for medical case review. The vendor holds two primary indefinite delivery vehicles: a $7.5 million single-award BPA with HRSA (awarded August 2023, completion July 31, 2028) for medical case reviewer services supporting both VICP and CICP, and a $249,999 single-award BPA also with HRSA for VICP medical expert services. Task orders are typically firm fixed-price for VICP case work and time-and-materials for expert witness services to DOJ.

Customer concentration is extreme: HRSA Headquarters accounts for 186 awards representing $9.5 million of the $9.6 million combined potential value (99% of the portfolio), with 75 task orders placed under BPA 75R60223A00036 ($926 thousand combined potential), 62 under BPA 75R60221A00015 ($239 thousand), and 33 under BPA 75R60219A00082 ($111 thousand). The Department of Justice Civil Division represents the only secondary customer, with 11 awards of $106 thousand combined potential. Award volume has remained steady—36 awards in 2022, 35 in 2023, and 41 in 2024—but slowed to 12 in 2025 and 9 year-to-date in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 13 awards with combined potential value of $326 thousand face ultimate completion and recompete exposure. The vendor competes almost exclusively under total small business set-asides on HRSA awards; DOJ expert witness work carries no set-aside designation. The source indicates the vendor has held recurring federal awards since 2005, with 196 recent awards held entirely as prime contracts and no subcontractor activity reflected in the portfolio. Dr. You Wen HE, the proprietor, is identified across summaries as the owner and principal service provider delivering the medical expertise directly.
