Schaffzin, Lawrence

Lawrence Schaffzin, operating as a sole proprietorship self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, provides independent medical case review and non-case advisory services to the Social Security Administration as a prime contractor under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement, with all 68 recent awards directed to SSA's Regional Medical Contractors program in Region 3.

Schaffzin's work centers on disability benefits determination support — specifically independent medical reviews of disability claim case files and non-case consultation hours that inform SSA's eligibility decisions. The vendor's service footprint spans Pennsylvania, with performance across Philadelphia, Cheltenham, and Ogontz. Recent representative call orders include a $336,074.55 BPA call awarded July 1, 2026 (the most recent award, completing June 30, 2027), a $317,430.10 call from July 15, 2025 (completing June 30, 2027), and a $112,020 call from January 6, 2025 (completing July 31, 2026). Call order scope typically covers 200 to 2,000 independent case file reviews per task. The vendor's NAICS profile is split between offices of physicians — general (46 awards) and mental health specialists (20 awards) — with supporting PSC work in expert witness and court reporting services.

SSA represents 100% of Schaffzin's customer concentration and 100% of recent awards, all drawn from a single $4.884 million BPA (BPA 28321321AC0340023) established August 1, 2021, running through July 31, 2028. The vendor sits on four other SSA BPAs with smaller combined footprints: two in the $694 thousand and $1.7 million ranges, one carrying only $72 thousand, and one carrying $260. Across all BPAs, Schaffzin has received 68 awards with combined potential value of $9.4 million, of which $4.5 million (48%) has been obligated. Award frequency has remained flat — two awards per year in 2022–2024, three in 2025, one in 2026 — suggesting mature, steady-state ordering rather than growth trajectory. Four awards (combined potential value $895 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The vendor competes in full-and-open procedures; most recent call orders carry no set-aside designation, with one Total Small Business set-aside appearing in the 2024 activity. Schaffzin operates exclusively as a prime and maintains no subcontract relationships.
