Stern PHD Thomas

Stern PHD Thomas, a sole proprietorship based in San Francisco, California, provides independent medical reviews of Social Security Administration disability claim case files as a prime contractor under SSA's Regional Medical Consultants program. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its entire recent federal footprint.

Stern PHD Thomas operates as a one-customer vendor concentrated entirely on SSA disability adjudication support. The Social Security Administration accounts for 31 of 32 recent awards (97% coverage) with $4.6 million in combined potential value. The vendor's service portfolio is narrowly defined: independent medical case reviews of disability claim files in support of SSA's disability determination process, performed in San Francisco (Region 9). Recent BPA calls illustrate the work pattern — a $63,048 call order issued July 1, 2026, for independent case reviews running through June 30, 2027; a $31,524 call issued January 1, 2025, for 300 independent case reviews; and a $30,996 call issued July 1, 2024, covering reviews through year-end 2024. The source data spans from 2022 onward and reflects a physician or physician-specialist practice model (top NAICS 6111XX — Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists — across 29 awards; top PSC code Medical- Medical/Psychiatric Consultation across 25 awards), suggesting the vendor's credentials center on psychiatry or mental health evaluation expertise relevant to disability claims adjudication.

Stern PHD Thomas places all work under four SSA Blanket Purchase Agreements: BPA SS091140028 (10 task orders, $224 thousand combined potential value), BPA 28321321AC0940016 (9 task orders, $242 thousand combined potential value), BPA SS09164C025 (7 task orders, $304 thousand combined potential value), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SS090662048S (1 task order, $40 thousand combined potential value). Activity has remained flat to slightly declining — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award ($63 thousand potential value) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all work is prime. Of the $4.9 million combined potential value across all 32 awards, $988 thousand has been obligated (20% realization), indicating call orders remain largely unspent at the time this data was captured.
