Wiznitzer, Max M.D

Wiznitzer, Max M.D, a solo pediatric neurologist operating as a sole proprietorship based in Cleveland, Ohio, provides specialized medical expert witness and vaccine injury case review services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor holds no subcontract footprint and competes across full-and-open procurements without SBA set-aside designations on its larger litigation-support work, though a material portion of its Vaccine Injury Compensation Program case-review work carries total small business set-asides.

Dr. Wiznitzer's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely within the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration, which accounts for 175 of 203 awards (90% coverage by count) and $19.3 million of the combined $19.4 million potential value across all recent awards. The remaining work splits between the Department of Justice Civil Division (5 awards, $59 thousand) and U.S. Attorney's Offices (3 awards, $27 thousand). This customer concentration is among the most extreme in federal contracting: a single agency and a single mission (vaccine injury compensation adjudication) drive the business substantially. The source data spans from October 2007 forward, indicating long-standing tenure in this specialized niche.

Dr. Wiznitzer's capability portfolio centers on two parallel lines of work. The dominant capability is VICP and Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) case review and expert medical opinion: reviewing vaccine injury petitions, analyzing case files, consulting with program leads and Department of Justice attorneys, and preparing expert reports. Representative work includes a $37,500 BPA call awarded August 2026 under the newly established $7.5 million single-award HHSH250201200009B BPA, a $7,500 Competitive total small business BPA call from March 2026, and numerous historical $2,250 to $6,000 case-specific BPA calls spanning 2021–2025. The secondary capability is expert witness testimony and litigative support services for pediatric neurology matters in federal litigation, performed for the Department of Justice at time-and-materials rates. Representative work includes a $27,956 expert witness purchase order from DOJ Civil Division (awarded October 2022, completion October 2026), a $14,991 purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Office (awarded November 2025, completion November 2028), and a $13,493 time-and-materials purchase order from DOJ Civil Division (awarded April 2023, completion April 2026).

Dr. Wiznitzer's recent award trajectory shows episodic activity: seven awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date. The portfolio reflects task orders issued against standing BPA vehicles rather than new contract competitions. The largest parent vehicle by combined potential value is the newly awarded HHSH250201200009B BPA ($186 thousand across 33 task orders), followed by HHSH250201400080B ($126 thousand across 41 task orders) and the older HHSH234200851007B ($112 thousand across 85 task orders). The June 2026 award of the $7.5 million HHSH250201200009B BPA — running through June 2031 with tiered hourly rates ($375 per hour for expert witnesses with MD/DO credentials, $175 per hour for case reviewers with MD/DO) — represents the largest single vehicle on the recent record and is positioned to anchor the vendor's VICP work through the next five years. Only two awards (combined potential value $45 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure; the newer BPA vehicles extend the performance runway substantially.
