About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded this single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Vocational & Rehabilitation Consultants, LLC (UEI: PMU6G4NEDC53) to provide vocational expert witness services in support of administrative proceedings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract, which became effective April 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and was awarded without set-asides. The vocational experts will testify and provide specialized expertise during Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) hearings, specifically in cases where applicants are appealing the SSA's initial denial of benefits. These proceedings require expert analysis regarding vocational feasibility, transferability of work skills, and labor market availability to support the ALJ's disability determination process.
The contract scope encompasses the provision of qualified vocational expert witnesses who can address factual and medical evidence related to claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to engage in substantial gainful activity. The experts will analyze vocational factors including the claimant's age, education, work experience, and any physical or mental limitations to render opinions on job availability within the national and local labor markets. This Blanket Purchase Agreement structure enables the SSA to call upon vocational experts on an as-needed basis for individual hearings throughout the five-year performance period, with task orders issued as specific cases require expert testimony. The contract supports SSA's administrative hearing process by ensuring the availability of specialized expertise to inform benefit determination decisions.
