About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Professional Vocational Services LLC on April 1, 2025, establishes a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle for the provision of vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The contract, valued at $250,000, will run through March 31, 2030, and carries no small business set-aside designation. The primary deliverable involves providing qualified vocational experts to testify at administrative hearings conducted before SSA Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in cases involving appeals of Social Security benefit denials. These hearings typically address claims for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, where vocational expert testimony is critical to establishing whether claimants possess the functional capacity to engage in substantial gainful activity.
Under this agreement, Professional Vocational Services LLC will supply expert witness services on an as-needed basis through task orders issued by SSA throughout the contract performance period. Vocational experts testifying under this contract provide specialized opinions regarding labor market conditions, occupational requirements, and the transferability of skills—evidence essential for ALJs to make accurate disability determinations. The vendor will maintain expertise in assessing claimants' residual functional capacity relative to available employment opportunities, supporting the agency's adjudicatory process for millions of benefit eligibility decisions annually. The indefinite-quantity nature of this BPA allows SSA to procure these specialized services efficiently without requiring separate competitive solicitations for individual expert engagements.
