About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Augins Linda, a minority and women-owned small business, effective April 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and completion date of March 31, 2030. Under this BPA, Augins Linda provides vocational expert witness services to support SSA administrative proceedings, specifically disability hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contractor delivers expert opinion testimony regarding the types of work claimants can perform and job availability based on their residual functional capacity, which directly informs determinations of eligibility and entitlement to Social Security disability benefits. Performance is required in the Region 3 Hearing Offices, with primary performance location in Chesapeake, Virginia. This procurement was not subject to any set-aside designation, and Augins Linda was selected as the sole awardee based on demonstrated capability to deliver these specialized consulting services.
The BPA supports SSA's disability adjudication mission by providing access to qualified vocational experts who offer testimony in support of benefit claim decisions. Based on the contractor's prior performance history with SSA, which included delivery of vocational expert express reporting services under previous BPA calls valued between $12,001 and $33,580, Augins Linda has established reliability in meeting the agency's requirements. The agreement structure allows SSA to issue firm-fixed-price task order calls as needed to support ongoing disability hearings throughout the five-year period of performance, enabling responsive procurement of vocational expert services without requiring full and open competition for individual expert testimony requirements.
