About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Shoals Consulting Inc. (UEI: MLZ1JCBNAVA9) on April 1, 2025, establishes a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide vocational expert witness services. The contract supports SSA hearings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in cases involving appeals of benefit denials. These proceedings address claims for various benefits administered by SSA, where vocational expertise is required to assess claimants' work capacity and vocational feasibility. The contract is structured as a non-competitive single award with no set-aside provisions and carries a ceiling value of $250,000.
The Blanket Purchase Agreement remains in effect through March 31, 2030, providing SSA with access to qualified vocational expert witnesses on an indefinite delivery basis to support the administrative appeal process. As a civilian agency contract, the vehicle enables SSA to efficiently procure specialized vocational expertise for ALJ hearings without requiring separate competitive solicitations for individual expert witnesses. The five-year performance period allows SSA to manage vocational expert services across its nationwide hearing docket while maintaining cost control within the established ceiling value. The structure permits task orders or individual expert engagements to be issued against the contract as hearing scheduling and caseload demands require.
