HE, You Wen

HE, You Wen, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small business sole proprietorship based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor delivering medical expert consulting and case review services to federal agencies, with all 196 recent awards held as prime contracts and zero subcontract work. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides across the bulk of its portfolio, with a smaller volume of non-set-aside expert witness purchase orders from the Department of Justice Civil Division.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized: medical expert services, medical case review, written medical opinions and analyses, and expert witness testimony in support of vaccine injury and medical countermeasure compensation program administration. Representative work includes over 73 task orders under Blanket Purchase Agreement 75R60223A00036 (combined potential value $813 thousand) for medical case reviewer services under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program; 62 task orders under BPA 75R60221A00015 for similar services (combined potential value $239 thousand); and individual BPA calls ranging from $1,125 to $31,875, with recent awards including a $24,375 VICP medical expert services call (May 26, 2026) and a $7,500 expert witness services purchase order (Feb 14, 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Headquarters accounts for 184 awards (94% of the portfolio) with $9.4 million combined potential value, dwarfing the Department of Justice Civil Division (11 awards, $106 thousand) and a single $6 thousand award from HHS-HRSA's National Hansen's Disease Program Clinical Research Center. The two customer rankings align perfectly — HRSA dominates both volume and dollars. HE, You Wen holds two large indefinite delivery vehicles with HRSA: a $7.5 million single-award BPA for medical case reviewer services supporting VICP and CICP through July 31, 2028, and a $249,999 single-award BPA specifically for VICP medical expert services. All task orders flow from these two parent vehicles and DOJ purchase orders.

Activity has remained stable and recurring. The vendor received 36 awards in 2022, 35 in 2023, and 41 in 2024, then dropped to 12 in 2025 and 7 year-to-date in 2026 — a trajectory reflecting completion of prior case work rather than declining customer demand. Within the next twenty-four months, thirteen awards with combined potential value $262 thousand reach ultimate completion and face recompete. The vendor's award base is heavily concentrated in two NAICS codes: 120 awards under Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists) and 74 under Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. The PSC footprint is entirely consolidated under Support—Professional: Expert Witness (all 196 awards).

Dr. You Wen HE, the sole proprietor, brings twenty-plus years of federal contracting history, with earliest award dates in the source data from 2015. The vendor's business model centers on HRSA's ongoing reliance for specialized medical expertise in vaccine injury and countermeasure compensation adjudication, executed through established BPA vehicles and discrete task orders. No subcontracting, teaming, or diversification beyond HRSA and occasional DOJ Civil Division expert witness work appears in the footprint. The vendor operates as a single-operator specialist resource embedded in a federal agency workflow rather than as a scalable professional services firm.
