About this IDV

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Matthew Lindsey Mcclanahan (UEI: N4B5P98DB6E1) to provide vocational expert witness services supporting administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract, effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and was awarded without a small business set-aside. The BPA establishes a vehicle through which SSA can procure vocational expert testimony on an as-needed basis for cases involving appeals of denied benefits determinations. These hearings typically require specialized expertise regarding job availability, transferability of work skills, and vocational feasibility in support of the agency's adjudication process for Social Security benefit claims.

Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, the contractor will provide expert witness services and testimony tailored to individual hearing requirements as SSA issues task orders throughout the contract period. Vocational expert services are essential to SSA's appeals process, as they provide independent professional assessment of claimants' work capacity and labor market conditions relevant to disability determination cases. The BPA structure allows SSA to access these specialized services on a task order basis without committing the full ceiling amount upfront, while the contractor maintains the exclusive right to provide such services under this agreement through the March 2030 completion date.
