About this IDV

This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Schabacker Jacquelyn on April 1, 2025, establishes a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle with a $250,000 ceiling value through March 31, 2030. The Social Security Administration (SSA) utilizes this agreement to procure vocational expert witness services for administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) addressing appeals of denied Social Security benefits. Schabacker Jacquelyn, a sole proprietorship specializing in vocational expert consulting, will evaluate disability claims by providing expert analysis and testimony regarding vocational factors, transferable skills, and labor market conditions relevant to SSA benefit determinations. No set-asides were utilized in this award, and task orders will be issued against the agreement as needed to support individual hearings and related proceedings. The contract operates as an indefinite quantity vehicle whereby the government calls upon the contractor's services on an as-needed basis while remaining obligated to purchase at least a nominal amount of services during the contract period.

The vocational expert services provided under this agreement directly support SSA's Disability Determination Services program, which adjudicates claims for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Schabacker Jacquelyn's role involves preparing expert reports and providing testimony that assists ALJs in making evidence-based decisions regarding claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to work. The contractor's prior performance history demonstrates consistent delivery of vocational expert services to SSA, including express reporting services and region-specific hearing support. By maintaining this blanket purchase agreement with a qualified vocational expert, SSA ensures timely access to specialized expertise necessary to support the fair and thorough adjudication of disability benefit appeals across the established contract period.
