John E Bucklew

John E Bucklew, a sole proprietorship based in Kansas City, Missouri, provides independent medical case reviews and disability claim file evaluations to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement, with no set-aside designation applied across all work.

Bucklew operates exclusively within the federal medical consultation space, specifically performing regional medical consultant services for SSA's disability determination process. The vendor holds a $2.7 million single-award BPA (28321321AC0740006) established March 2, 2021, running through February 28, 2026, under which SSA has issued eleven task orders totaling approximately $4.2 million in combined potential value. Representative task order work spans 375 to 810 independent disability case reviews per call, firm fixed price, with performance in Kansas City and typical completion cycles of six to twelve months. The most recent award, issued July 1, 2026, values $85,114.80 for 810 case reviews running through June 30, 2027. Earlier task orders include a $75,657.60 call (September 2025, covering regional medical consultant services across the Midwest/West region), a $47,286 call (March 2025), and a $45,254.16 call (September 2024, covering 438 case reviews). Across all eleven awards in the source data, only $563 thousand has been obligated against the $4.2 million ceiling, indicating that many task orders remain in active performance or have not yet drawn full funding.

Customer concentration is absolute: Social Security Administration accounts for 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value. Bucklew has no subcontractor work, no other federal customers, and no parent vehicles beyond the single SSA BPA. The vendor's capability portfolio clusters under NAICS 541210 (Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists) with PSC codes split between Medical-Medical/Psychiatric Consultation (7 awards) and Medical-Other (4 awards), reflecting the specialized, single-mission character of the practice.

Activity runs flat at approximately two task orders per year over the past five years with one award in 2026 to date. One award (valued at $85 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the only near-term recompete exposure in Bucklew's portfolio. The vendor's footprint is narrow and stable—a single-customer, single-vehicle operator without growth trajectory, diversification, or scale beyond SSA's Region 7 medical consultant needs.
