Kruer Michael C

Kruer Michael C, doing business as Michael C Kruer MD, operates as a solo medical practitioner providing specialized medical expert services and case reviews for the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), competing exclusively under total small business set-asides as a prime contractor on BPA task orders issued by the Department of Health and Human Services. The vendor is a sole proprietorship based in Chandler, Arizona, classified under NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists) and PSC Support-Professional: Expert Witness, with no subcontractor engagements across a fully prime footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversified. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Headquarters accounts for 110 of 113 total awards (97% of recent activity) and $8.3 million in combined potential value across the award portfolio. The Department of Justice Civil Division holds only three awards worth $35 thousand combined, representing residual exposure. This concentration reflects Dr. Kruer's exclusive specialization in VICP medical expert review work.

Dr. Kruer operates under two active parent BPA vehicles, both with HHS. The primary vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement 75R60224A00023, a $7.5 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle awarded July 25, 2024, running through July 24, 2029, which serves as the source for the majority of current task orders. Under this vehicle, HRSA issues task orders with individual ceilings typically ranging from $600 to $13,700 per case. A prior BPA vehicle, 75R60219A00138, generated 68 task orders valued at $207 thousand combined and has now largely cycled out. The VICP Medical Expert Panel vehicle accounts for 27 task orders worth $96 thousand combined. Current award activity under the primary $7.5 million BPA includes a $24,375 task order (set-aside: Total Small Business) with completion by January 4, 2027, a $11,250 BPA call (completion August 1, 2027), a $9,375 BPA call (completion August 3, 2026), and a $15,000 BPA call (completion April 13, 2026). All task orders carry firm fixed-price structure and total small business set-aside designation.

Activity has declined materially in the past two years—from eleven awards annually in 2022–2023 to ten in 2024, four in 2025, and only two in 2026 year-to-date—suggesting either HRSA demand reduction, extended case cycles, or reallocation of work. Only two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months and are exposed to recompete, carrying combined potential value of $36 thousand. Combined obligated dollars across the full award portfolio total $443 thousand, representing just 5% of the $8.3 million combined potential value, indicating light invoicing relative to awarded ceiling authority.

Dr. Kruer's scope of work is narrowly defined: medical case reviews, written expert medical opinions, expert testimony at VICP hearings, and detailed case-specific consultations related to vaccine injury claims under the VICP. All work is performed in Chandler, Arizona, with no subordinate or subcontracted performance. The vendor has maintained a consistent relationship with HRSA since at least 2015, with the most recent award issued September 2, 2026.
