About this IDV

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Human Services Outcomes, Inc. (UEI: GQMVMKJKMG32) to provide vocational expert witness services in support of SSA administrative hearings. Under this BPA, vocational experts will testify and provide expert analysis before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) during appeals of SSA benefit denials. The contract carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and covers the period from March 11, 2025, through March 31, 2030. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. The vocational expert services procured under this vehicle directly support SSA's disability claims adjudication process at the hearing level, assisting in the evaluation of claimants' residual functional capacity and vocational feasibility.

Human Services Outcomes, Inc. brings relevant subject matter expertise to this engagement, having previously provided vocational rehabilitation reporting services to SSA through related BPA vehicles and task orders. The contractor's prior work includes VHR Express and ME-VE Express reporting services that contributed to SSA's disability determination process. This BPA represents a continuation and expansion of the contractor's vocational support role, transitioning from reporting services to direct expert witness testimony at ALJ hearings. The contract utilizes a firm fixed-price structure for individual task orders and enables SSA to obtain vocational expert services on an as-needed basis through calls against the $250,000 ceiling, optimizing procurement efficiency while ensuring access to qualified vocational expertise for the duration of the agreement.
