Joan Freedman Joynson

Joan Freedman Joynson, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Sedona, Arizona, provides independent medical case reviews and regional medical consulting services exclusively to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates 100% as a prime (no subcontract footprint), competing full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles, though several task orders under the Region 3 BPA carry total small business set-aside designations reflecting Joynson's WOSB status.

Joynson's entire federal business derives from SSA's disability determination programs across two geographic regions. She holds two primary BPAs: a $1,954,000 single-award vehicle for Region 3 (Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia) running through July 31, 2026, and a $4,719,260 Region 9 BPA (California) that expired December 31, 2025 but continues to generate task orders. Under these two vehicles, Joynson delivers independent medical case reviews, non-case consulting hours, and medical evaluation support for SSA's evaluation of disability benefit applications and claims appeals. Recent work includes a $296,100 Region 9 call order awarded April 15, 2026 for independent medical case reviews; a $168,180 Region 9 call order from December 29, 2025; and a $49,995 Region 3 call order from May 30, 2024 for independent case reviews and non-case services. Task order values under both BPAs have historically ranged from under $500 for minimal non-case hours to over $219,000 for bundled case-review and consulting packages.

SSA accounts for 100% of awards (39 total) and combined potential value ($11.1 million). The top three parent BPAs are the Region 9 vehicle (identified as BPA 28321321AC0940002, 15 task orders, $1.7 million combined potential value), the Region 9 vehicle under a second designation (BPA SS03164C001, 12 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value), and the Region 3 vehicle (BPA 28321321AC0340004, 9 task orders, $320 thousand combined potential value). Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (5 awards in 2022, 6 in 2024, declining to 3 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 year-to-date), with four awards totaling $485 thousand completing in the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $3.1 million (28% of potential value), reflecting the performance-to-date under multiple active and recently completed task orders. Work is performed in Sedona, Arizona and subordinate locations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and San Francisco, California per task order requirements.
