About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Hardy Thomas A, doing business as Thomas A Hardy JD Med (UEI: D1GES53HBSE9), to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative hearings. The contract, effective April 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and includes no set-aside requirements. The vocational expert services are provided to support SSA Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearings in cases involving appeals of denied Social Security benefit claims. These services are critical to the adjudication process, as vocational experts provide specialized testimony regarding labor market conditions, occupational requirements, and transferability of work skills to inform ALJ decisions in disability and related benefit determination cases.
Under this BPA structure, the contractor will be available to testify at hearings as an expert witness in vocational matters, providing testimony that addresses whether claimants possess the functional capacity to perform available work in the national economy. The vocational expert will analyze occupational evidence and labor market data relevant to individual cases, assisting ALJs in making determinations regarding SSA benefit eligibility. This indefinite delivery vehicle allows SSA to procure vocational expert services on an as-needed basis throughout the five-year period of performance, with the $250,000 ceiling establishing the maximum financial obligation for the entire contract term.
