Jesse Ogor Sr.

Jesse serves as a procurement specialist within the DOL’s Cas Division 3 Procurement, supporting the operational needs of the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs by managing the acquisition of specialized mental health and behavioral health services. Responsible for executing full lifecycle contracting actions, Jesse ensures compliance with federal regulations while facilitating timely access to qualified mental health practitioners for federal employees undergoing workers’ compensation care. Their work directly enables the delivery of clinically compliant, efficient, and patient-centered services through a network of licensed outpatient providers, including psychologists, clinical social workers, and licensed professional counselors. Jesse maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of qualified healthcare service providers, primarily independent practitioners and small-group mental health practices that meet federal credentialing and billing standards. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, Jesse consistently engages with vendors holding appropriate state licensure and Medicare/Medicaid enrollment, fostering partnerships grounded in performance metrics, timely claims submission, and adherence to DOL’s clinical protocols. Vendor interactions are structured around performance-based contracting and continuous quality improvement. Jesse’s procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes maximizing provider availability and geographic coverage over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring the broadest possible access to qualified mental health professionals for nationwide worker compensation cases. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, many awardees naturally qualify as small entities due to the nature of the service delivery model. The primary NAICS focus is 621330—Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (except Physicians)—reflecting a strict specialization in outpatient behavioral health services. Jesse procures clinical care delivery, including diagnostic evaluations, therapy sessions, case management, and electronic health record integration, all aligned with DOL’s medical claims processing infrastructure. Their domain expertise lies in the intersection of federal workers’ compensation policy and mental health service delivery, ensuring compliance with FEP and OWCPIP standards.
