About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Michael McClanahan, a sole proprietor operating under UEI UKR2VUC54XN4, to provide vocational expert witness services in support of administrative hearings. The contract, effective from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000.00 with no set-aside designation. Under this BPA, McClanahan delivers specialized vocational expert testimony and reporting to support disability benefit appeals before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) when claimants challenge SSA benefit denials. The scope of services encompasses vocational expert witness consulting, VHR Express Reporting, and ME-VE Express Reporting to facilitate disability determination hearings conducted by SSA's Region 04 hearing offices, with the place of performance located in Auburn, Alabama.
This BPA provides the SSA with flexible, on-call access to qualified vocational expert services through task orders and individual calls, enabling the agency to procure specialized expertise as needed without requiring separate competitive solicitations. Based on McClanahan's performance history with the SSA dating to 2019, individual task order values have ranged from $7,700 to $22,910. The vocational expert services are critical to the SSA's administrative hearing process, where vocational experts testify regarding job availability, transferability of skills, and work capacity assessments to inform ALJ decisions on disability determinations. The five-year contract period allows the SSA sustained access to this specialized consulting capability while maintaining cost predictability through the established ceiling value.
