About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Lane And Associates, a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Sharon B. Lane, for the provision of vocational expert witness services supporting administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings. This civilian federal contract, effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and requires no set-aside designation. The primary objective is to supply qualified vocational experts who provide testimony and consulting services during Social Security disability benefit appeal hearings, assisting ALJs in determining claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to engage in substantial gainful activity. Services are performed from Brownsboro Village, Kentucky, with the contractor serving SSA's Region 04 hearing offices.
Under the terms of this BPA, Lane And Associates delivers specialized vocational expert consulting services, including VHR Express Reporting and ME-VE Express Reporting methodologies that support the agency's vocational expert program. The firm fixed price call structure allows SSA to issue task orders as needed throughout the contract period to obtain expert testimony and supporting documentation for individual disability hearings. Based on the contractor's historical performance under prior awards valued between $16,424 and $32,711, the BPA provides a scalable mechanism to ensure consistent access to qualified vocational expertise across multiple hearing offices, thereby supporting SSA's adjudicatory processes for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income claims.
