About this IDV

Stroud Vocational Expert Services LLC has been awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Social Security Administration (SSA), a civilian federal agency, to provide vocational expert witness services in support of administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract, valued at $250,000 with a ceiling completion date of March 31, 2030 and an award date of April 1, 2025, does not utilize any set-aside designation. The primary purpose of this indefinite delivery vehicle is to supply qualified vocational experts who deliver specialized testimony and assessment services during SSA disability benefit appeals proceedings. These hearings involve claims for benefits administered by SSA, and the vocational experts provide critical evaluation and expert testimony to support the agency's disability determination and appeals processes. Stroud Vocational Expert Services LLC is a woman-owned small business that specializes in vocational assessment, job counseling, and expert witness testimony for individuals with disabilities and employment barriers.

Under this Blanket Purchase Agreement, the SSA will issue firm fixed-price task orders to procure specific vocational expert consulting services as needed throughout the contract period. The contractor's services include vocational evaluation, expert testimony, and reporting support such as Vocational Expert History and Vocational Expert Express Reporting to assist ALJs in making informed decisions on disability claims. By establishing this indefinite delivery vehicle, the SSA creates a pre-vetted acquisition mechanism to rapidly obtain qualified vocational expert services for its ongoing disability hearings and appeals processes without conducting individual competitive solicitations. The contract structure allows the agency flexibility to scale service utilization based on caseload demands while maintaining a predetermined pricing and service delivery framework.
