About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Stratcomm, Inc. on April 1, 2025, provides vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA) to support Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearings in disability benefit appeal cases. The single-award contract, valued at $250,000, will remain in effect through March 31, 2030, and does not utilize a small business set-aside designation. Stratcomm, a veteran-owned small business based in Natick, Massachusetts, will deliver expert witness testimony and related services for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income appeal proceedings, where vocational experts assess claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to perform alternative work. This contract supports the SSA's Office of Hearings Operations in adjudicating disability benefit claims through the administrative appeal process.
The vocational expert services procured under this agreement are critical to SSA's disability determination process, as expert testimony regarding occupational availability, labor market conditions, and vocational transferability directly influences ALJ decisions on benefit denials under appeal. Stratcomm's engagement as a vocational expert service provider complements its existing work with the SSA in hearing recording and documentation services, leveraging the contractor's established relationships and operational familiarity with the agency's regional hearing offices. The $250,000 ceiling value reflects a limited-scope BPA designed to supplement the SSA's existing vocational expert panel, enabling the agency to access specialized expert testimony on an as-needed basis for individual disability hearings throughout the five-year performance period.
