About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded on April 1, 2025, by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to Goodman Joseph L, provides vocational expert witness services to support the agency's administrative appeals process. The contract, valued at $250,000, will remain in effect through March 31, 2030, and was issued as a single award with no set-aside designation. The vocational expert services are specifically designed to support hearings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in cases where claimants appeal the SSA's initial denial of disability benefits. These expert witnesses provide testimony and analysis regarding claimants' residual functional capacity, ability to perform past work, and capacity to adjust to alternative work given their documented impairments—critical evidence in the agency's disability determination and appeals process.
The contractor, Goodman Joseph L, is a sole proprietorship with an established track record of providing vocational expert consulting services to the SSA across multiple regions, including Region 03 hearing offices. Service delivery under this agreement is anticipated to include various reporting methodologies such as VHR Express Reporting and ME-VE Express Reporting, with individual calls likely to be issued on a firm fixed price basis as needed. The agreement establishes a standing vehicle through which the SSA can procure expert witness services for its ongoing caseload of disability benefit appeals, ensuring consistent access to qualified vocational expertise for the duration of the contract period through March 2030.
