About this IDV
Guided Life Care Planning Services, LLC, a woman-owned and minority-owned small disadvantaged business, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Social Security Administration (SSA) with a ceiling value of $250,000 for the provision of vocational expert witness services. The contract, effective from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, is designed to supply qualified vocational experts to support SSA in Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearings for beneficiaries appealing denials of Social Security benefits. These expert witness services are critical to the ALJ hearing process, where vocational experts provide testimony regarding the claimant's ability to perform substantial gainful activity and the availability of jobs in the national economy given the claimant's age, education, work experience, and functional limitations. The contractor will deliver specialized expertise to facilitate informed judicial determinations on disability benefit eligibility claims.
Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, SSA may issue individual task orders or calls at its discretion to obtain vocational expert services as needed for hearings before ALJs within designated hearing office regions. The firm fixed price calls issued against this agreement will specify the particular hearing matter, required expertise, and associated compensation. This procurement approach allows SSA to maintain flexibility in engaging vocational expert resources while establishing a pre-vetted contractor relationship, thereby streamlining the administrative process for obtaining expert witness testimony on an as-needed basis throughout the contract period. No set-aside provisions were applied to this award.
