About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), awarded to Julie McKeown (UEI: E43ZFNYRZMF9) on April 1, 2025, provides vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA) for administrative proceedings. The contract, valued at $250,000.00 with no set-aside provisions, operates as a single-award IDV through March 31, 2030. McKeown, operating as a sole proprietorship, delivers vocational expert testimony and consulting services to support hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) who adjudicate appeals of SSA benefit denials. These services directly support the SSA's disability determination process by providing expert analysis on the types of work that individuals with disabilities can perform given their medical conditions, education, work experience, and other relevant factors.
The BPA establishes a framework under which the SSA can issue task orders or calls as needed throughout the contract period to obtain vocational expert services for specific ALJ hearings. McKeown's prior award history with SSA includes similar BPAs covering regional hearing offices and a June 2020 call order for VHR Express Reporting services, demonstrating established capability in delivering timely expert reporting services. The vocational expert testimony procured through this vehicle is critical to SSA's adjudication process, as it provides objective professional analysis to inform decisions regarding claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to engage in gainful employment—key factors in SSA disability benefit determinations.
