Sargeant Gale M

Sargeant Gale M, a woman-owned, minority-owned, Black American-owned sole proprietorship based in Chicago, Illinois, provides independent medical reviews of Social Security disability claim case files as a prime contractor on a single-customer, BPA-based federal portfolio. The vendor operates 100% under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across all recent awards, despite the original solicitation for the parent BPA being designated 100% small business.

Sargeant Gale M's entire federal footprint is concentrated with the Social Security Administration, where the vendor conducts medical consultant services supporting the agency's disability benefit determination process. The vendor employs licensed medical professionals—physicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists—to perform independent case file reviews for disability claims in Region 5 (Chicago area). Nineteen awards across the source data, spanning March 2022 through June 2026, total $6 million in combined potential value, with $821 thousand obligated to date (14% of potential value). Work is performed in Chicago, Illinois, with performance periods typically running three to twelve months per call order.

The vendor sits on two parent BPAs: BPA 28321321AC0540051, with a $2.188 million ceiling and ten task orders worth $661 thousand combined potential value, running through January 31, 2026; and BPA SS05164C045, with seven task orders worth $160 thousand combined potential value. Recent representative awards include a June 5, 2026 BPA call for 1,500 independent case reviews ($148,500 ceiling, performance through June 30, 2027); an August 1, 2025 call order for regional medical consultant services ($127,710 ceiling, through June 30, 2026); and an April 21, 2025 call for disability claim case file reviews ($31,581 ceiling, performance due July 31, 2025). Activity has remained flat at two awards per year since 2022, with only one award recorded in 2026 year-to-date. One award (the June 2026 call at $148,500 combined potential value) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore faces potential recompete exposure. The vendor has no subcontract footprint; all work is performed directly as prime. Award history indicates consistent performance and renewal across multiple call cycles under the same parent BPAs since 2022.
