Krinski Cassandra

Krinski Cassandra is a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Eureka, Missouri, that has been registered in the System for Award Management since January 2019. The entity specializes in providing independent medical case review services and expert medical opinions to support federal vaccine injury and countermeasures compensation programs. Krinski Cassandra has established itself as a key healthcare administrative support contractor, working exclusively with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration to facilitate the adjudication of claims filed under federally administered compensation programs.

Since at least 2019, Krinski Cassandra has provided comprehensive medical case review and expert analysis services through a series of blanket purchase agreement task orders issued by HRSA Headquarters. The contractor conducts detailed reviews of petitioner case files, analyzes medical evidence, and delivers independent medical opinions to assist in determining eligibility and appropriateness of compensation for vaccine-related and countermeasure-related injury claims. Services have been provided exclusively to the Health Resources and Services Administration through firm fixed-price contracts, with individual task orders typically valued between $6,250 and $25,000. The work encompasses medical case review services for both the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, with all performance conducted from the company's Eureka, Missouri location. A substantial portion of the task orders issued to Krinski Cassandra have been designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting HRSA's commitment to promoting small business participation in federal contracting, though some more recent task orders have been issued without set-aside designations.

Krinski Cassandra holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration that was established on March 18, 2022, with a ceiling value of $7,500,000 and an ultimate completion date of March 17, 2027. This BPA serves as the primary contracting mechanism through which HRSA issues task orders to Krinski Cassandra for medical case review and expert consultation services supporting both the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. Individual task orders issued under this BPA typically range from $12,500 to $25,000 in value, with periods of performance spanning from 8 months to 2 years. Task orders issued against the BPA provide for detailed medical case review of specific petition numbers, with some containing total small business set-aside designations while others are issued without set-aside designations. All work under the BPA and associated task orders is performed in Eureka, Missouri, and the contract structure provides cost certainty through firm fixed-price arrangements that support HRSA's objective of efficiently procuring specialized medical expertise needed to evaluate petitioner files and render determinations on vaccine and countermeasure injury claims in a timely and equitable manner.
