Kresser, Paula Ph.d.

Kresser, Paula Ph.d. is a sole proprietorship owned by Paula Kresser that is registered as a for-profit, woman-owned business in SAM.gov. As an individual medical consultant, Kresser provides professional services to the Social Security Administration (SSA) through prime federal contract awards and task orders issued under indefinite delivery vehicles to support the agency's disability programs.

Specifically, Kresser has been awarded multiple prime contracts and blanket purchase agreement calls by SSA since 2019 to serve as a Regional Medical Consultant reviewing disability claim case files. The services entail analyzing case documentation and providing medical opinions to assist in determining eligibility for disability insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments across different SSA regions. The contract values have ranged from $13,227 to $69,196 for between 150 to 700 independent case reviews, as well as non-case consultant hours. All awards were made by SSA with no set-aside designation under the agency's ongoing requirements for regional disability claim review support.

Additionally, Kresser holds two active blanket purchase agreements with potential five-year values up to $2.67 million each to provide continued regional medical consultant services. The first is a 2021 BPA award to supply reviews for Region 9 headquartered in San Francisco, which has already resulted in two call orders totaling $137,121 for 1,000 case evaluations in California through late 2022. The second is a separate 2021 agreement allowing Kresser to conduct disability case file reviews for Region 7 centered in Kansas City, Missouri. Multiple calls have been placed under this Kansas City area BPA, directing between 300 and 450 case reviews to be performed in both Kansas City and Richmond through February 2023, with individual values ranging from $14,733 to $49,945.
