Hemantha Surath MD

Hemantha Surath MD, a sole proprietorship medical practice based in Glenview, Illinois, provides independent medical case review and disability determination consulting services exclusively to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under blanket purchase agreements, with no subcontract work and no set-aside designations. The vendor operates as an individual physician contractor conducting comprehensive medical reviews of disability claim case files to support SSA's disability adjudication programs in the Chicago region (SSA Region 5), with work spanning case file reviews ranging from individual assessments to batches of 1,600 independent case evaluations, non-case medical consultations, and specialized medical training for SSA disability contractors on body system listings.

Hemantha Surath MD's customer concentration is singular and total: the Social Security Administration accounts for 39 of 40 awards (98% of award count) and $5.4 million of $5.7 million combined potential value across the vendor's recent federal footprint. The vendor sits on three SSA BPAs: Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0540028 (15 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement SS05164C026 (10 task orders, $617 thousand combined potential value), and Blanket Purchase Agreement SS051140090 (8 task orders, $386 thousand combined potential value). The largest parent vehicle, BPA 28321321AC0540028, was originally awarded on March 19, 2021, with a potential ceiling value of $2.188 million and an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2026; SSA has issued numerous call orders under this umbrella totaling over $500 thousand to date, with individual task orders ranging from $1,319 for non-case service hours to $155,552 for comprehensive case file review batches. Recent representative work includes a $186,120 call order awarded July 1, 2026, for case file reviews through June 30, 2027; a $158,400 call order awarded July 7, 2025, for regional medical consultant services; and a $142,560 call order awarded July 25, 2024, for 1,440 independent medical reviews.

Activity volume has fluctuated across the past five years — two awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $186 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's work is classified under primary NAICS 8111 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists) and PSC Medical codes, with 28 awards under Medical-Medical/Psychiatric Consultation, 10 under Medical-Other, and 2 under Family & Internal Medicine Services. Hemantha Surath MD has held this SSA contract relationship continuously since 2003, operating as the agency's regional medical consultant without subcontractor participation.
