About this IDV
Laura Lykins LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Lexington, Kentucky, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Social Security Administration (SSA) effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, with a ceiling value of $250,000. The contract provides vocational expert witness services to support SSA administrative proceedings, specifically for hearings before Administrative Law Judges involving appeals of benefit denials. As a vocational expert, the contractor furnishes professional testimony and analysis regarding claimants' work capacity, transferable skills, and labor market conditions to assist in disability determination decisions. The BPA was originally solicited as a total small business set-aside but was awarded without a set-aside designation. The agreement operates on a task order basis, allowing SSA to issue specific purchase orders for individual expert witness engagements as needed throughout the contract period.
The scope of services encompasses vocational expert reporting, analysis, and testimony delivery for Social Security disability benefit hearings. Historical task orders under this vehicle have included specialized services such as vocational health record express reporting, with prior individual orders valued between $3,700 and $10,500. The contractor's established track record includes similar expert witness and consulting services provided to the U.S. Attorney's Offices and the Social Security Administration, demonstrating capability in time and materials and firm fixed-price delivery models. This BPA enables the SSA to maintain on-call access to specialized vocational expertise required to support its administrative hearing process and supports the agency's disability determination operations through qualified expert testimony and professional analysis.
