Olivares Rafael J

Olivares Rafael J, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship based in Lakewood, Colorado, provides independent medical case reviews and disability claim file evaluations to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor operating exclusively under full-and-open competitive award vehicles with no set-aside designation. All work operates through the SSA's Regional Medical Consultant program in Region 8, covering Colorado and surrounding states, with performance from Denver and Lakewood offices.

Olivares holds a single dominant customer relationship with the Social Security Administration, representing 34 of 37 prime awards (92% of recent awards) valued at $6 million in combined potential value. The vendor operates entirely within medical consulting for federal disability determination, with all 37 recent awards categorized under Offices of Physicians (NAICS 621111) and indexed to Medical/Psychiatric Consultation (PSC Medical-Medical). The scope of work is consistent across all awards: independent reviews of disability claim case files to provide medical opinions supporting the SSA's adjudication of disability benefits applications, typically involving 350 to 1,500 case reviews per call order.

Olivares positions itself through two primary Blanket Purchase Agreements with the SSA. The first, a $2,011,000 multiple-award BPA awarded March 1, 2024 and running through February 28, 2029, anchors the current contract vehicle. Ten task orders under BPA SS08164C018 carry $382 thousand combined potential value, while eight task orders under BPA SS081040022 account for $223 thousand. Older single-award BPA vehicles through 2023 carry smaller residual task order values. Recent call orders demonstrate consistent order sizing: a $216,000 call issued June 10, 2026 represents the most recent award; a $148,400 modification from June 27, 2025 extended the period of performance; a $150,800 call from June 15, 2024 specified 1,450 case reviews. Historical order values range from $36,400 to $150,800 per call, with Olivares invoicing approximately $1.9 million (25% of combined potential value) to date.

Activity has declined from a one-award baseline in 2022 through two awards in 2023, three in 2024, dropping to two in 2025 and one in the first half of 2026. The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since 2006, demonstrating sustained tenure with the SSA disability determination mission. As a sole proprietorship with no subcontract activity, Olivares operates as a direct provider of medical consultant services rather than a contractor managing other specialists, limiting scale and growth trajectory to available call order volume under existing BPAs.
