Ruth ANN Lyman, Ph.d., LLC

Ruth ANN Lyman, Ph.D., LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Birmingham, Alabama, provides independent medical consultant services for disability case reviews to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.

The vendor operates entirely within a single customer relationship. All 35 awards in the source data span to the Social Security Administration ($3.8 million combined potential value), with $1.9 million currently obligated (50% of ceiling value). The firm's entire portfolio comprises BPA calls under three Atlanta Medical Consultants Contract vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement SS041140024 (15 task orders, $421 thousand), Blanket Purchase Agreement SS04164C031 (11 task orders, $866 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement 28321321AC0440010 (6 task orders, $597 thousand). Work is performed in Birmingham and Mountain Brook, Alabama, supporting SSA's Disability Insurance program in the Atlanta and Birmingham regions.

The vendor's capability footprint is tightly scoped to independent medical reviews of disability claim case files. Recent representative work includes a $77,648 BPA call awarded July 1, 2026, for disability adjudication support in the Atlanta region with performance through June 30, 2027; a $106,766 order from March 24, 2025, adding independent case reviews in the Birmingham region; and a $112,620 call from March 1, 2023, reviewing disability cases for SSA's Birmingham office. NAICS and PSC coding confirms pure medical-consultation positioning: all 35 awards fall under NAICS "Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists," with 33 awards assigned PSC code for Medical/Psychiatric Consultation.

Activity is flat at one award per year over the last five years (2022–2026). One award carrying $78 thousand in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not sit on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs.
