The study examines third-order sandwich-type outcomes for analytic and univalent functions that are characterized by means of special functions like the Hurwitz–Lerch functions related to the Srivastava–Attiya linear operator. By employing techniques of differential subordination and superordination, we establish several new inclusion relationships and admissibility conditions that extend and unify earlier results in the literature. Further, optimal dominant and subordinant functions are identified, yielding sharp outcomes within the framework of third-order differential inequalities. The derived outcomes not only generalize a number of previously known results but also provide applications to special subclasses of analytic functions associated with the convolution operator $ N_{\alpha}^{\beta} $.
