Riaz Syed

Riaz Syed is a sole proprietorship medical consulting business located in Ellicott City, Maryland, specialized in providing medical consultant services to federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since April 29, 2009, with a registration valid until May 18, 2026, the business operates as a for-profit organization focused on supporting government disability determination processes. Through its federal contract awards, Riaz Syed primarily offers medical expertise to government agencies, specifically conducting independent medical reviews and evaluations of disability claim case files.

The federal contract awards held by Riaz Syed are exclusively with the Social Security Administration (SSA), specifically supporting the agency's Headquarters Medical Consultants program. These contracts involve providing detailed medical reviews of disability claim case files, with individual task orders ranging from 100 to 520 independent case reviews and additional non-case consulting hours. Each contract has been awarded without any set-aside designations, suggesting selection is based on medical expertise and qualifications. The contract values have progressively increased, with recent awards ranging from $9,199.50 to $52,185.00, indicating growing trust and demand for Riaz Syed's medical consulting services within the SSA's disability benefits evaluation process.

Riaz Syed holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Social Security Administration, with a total potential ceiling value of $2,167,200 through May 2026. This BPA allows the SSA to flexibly access Syed's specialized medical expertise for disability program support. The BPA enables the issuance of multiple task orders with varying scopes, from conducting independent medical reviews to providing non-case consulting services. Task orders under this BPA have consistent characteristics: they support the Office of Disability Determinations, involve reviewing disability claim case files, and are categorized under the "Headquarters Medical Consultants" major program code. The BPA represents a strategic contracting mechanism for the SSA to efficiently procure specialized medical consulting services to support its disability benefits application and appeals evaluation process.
