Menken Mary Ellen

Menken Mary Ellen, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Needham, Massachusetts, provides independent case reviews in psychology and psychiatry to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor, supporting disability benefit determinations across the Boston region since 2005. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations on its active work, though certain historical call orders carry Total Small Business designations.

Menken Mary Ellen's entire federal footprint is concentrated within the Social Security Administration. Of thirty-five total awards spanning two decades, twenty-eight awards carry a combined potential value of $3.9 million, representing roughly 95% of the vendor's combined potential value. The vendor has worked on four active SSA Blanket Purchase Agreements: BPA SS011140003 (nine task orders, $295 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract SS010560006 (eight task orders, $262 thousand), BPA 28321321AC0140023 (seven task orders, $247 thousand), and BPA SS01164C014 (seven task orders, $247 thousand). Recent representative work includes a $14,241 BPA call order from SSA's Boston office issued on March 23, 2026, for independent case reviews to support Administrative Law Judge hearings and Appeals Council reviews, a $56,964 firm fixed price BPA call from March 2025 for medical consultation services at the Boston regional office, and a $55,848 call order from March 2024 for Regional Medical Consultant services under BPA No. 28321321AC0140023.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers narrowly on psychiatric and psychological case review services. The source categorizes work under NAICS Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists (18 awards), Offices of Mental Health Practitioners except Physicians (nine awards), and Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists (eight awards). PSC coding emphasizes Medical-Medical/Psychiatric Consultation (twenty-four awards) and Medical-Other (eleven awards). Award volume has been sparse in recent years — one award each in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, with two in 2024 — generating only $1.2 million in actual obligations across the full portfolio against $4.1 million potential value. The vendor does not subcontract and maintains no teaming relationships across its award base.
