Uptown Eye Associates LLC

Uptown Eye Associates LLC, doing business as Lauren Zimski MD, is a woman-owned small business based in Denver, Colorado, that provides medical consultant services to the Social Security Administration and Department of Justice as a prime contractor, competing under full-and-open (non-set-aside) designations. The vendor operates as a for-profit corporate entity led by Dr. Lauren Zimski and specializes in disability claim file reviews, independent medical case assessments, and medical expert witness services for federal agencies in the Rocky Mountain region.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in medical consulting for SSA's disability determination programs. Across 43 prime awards since 2017, Uptown Eye Associates holds four active Blanket Purchase Agreements with SSA's Region 8 office (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming), with combined potential value exceeding $9.6 million. The largest vehicle is a multiple-award BPA valued at $2.7 million with performance through February 28, 2029, awarded March 19, 2025, under the Region 8 Regional Medical Advisor Solicitation. A second SSA BPA, valued at $4.8 million, extends through December 2024. Representative work includes a $174 thousand BPA call from May 26, 2026, for Office of Disability Determinations reviews in Region 8; a $120 thousand call order from June 25, 2025, for examination and analysis of Regional Medical Consultant case reviews; and a $75 thousand call from April 1, 2024, involving 450 independent case reviews. SSA accounts for 41 of 43 awards (100% of combined potential value at $12.3 million); the Department of Justice's U.S. Attorney's Offices placed two purchase orders totaling $21 thousand for expert witness and expert services work, with ceiling values of $13.5 thousand (March 19, 2024) and $7.95 thousand (March 17, 2022). The vendor holds no sub-awards and operates exclusively as a prime.

Activity has grown moderately: four awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, seven in 2025, and four through early 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is limited, with only two awards (combined potential value $56 thousand) reaching ultimate completion by mid-2028. Only $1.2 million of the $12.3 million combined potential value has been obligated as of the source date, indicating early-stage drawdown on the newer BPA vehicles. The vendor competes under NAICS 541212 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists) across 42 awards and PSC code Medical—Medical/Psychiatric Consultation on 30 awards, with 11 awards in Medical—Other and two in Support—Professional (Expert Witness).
