About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Tina Ivey Baker (doing business as Tina Baker-Ivey For Prime Care Services) to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in Social Security disability and related benefit appeal cases. The contract, valued at $250,000, extends through March 31, 2030, and was awarded on April 1, 2025, without a set-aside designation. As a civilian federal contract, this BPA establishes a framework under which the SSA issues firm-fixed-price task orders for vocational expert consulting services to support Region 04 hearing offices. The prime contractor, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business, provides specialized expertise in assessing claimants' residual functional capacity and their ability to perform past work or transition to alternative employment during Social Security benefit determination appeals.
Historical performance data indicates that task orders issued under prior BPA arrangements with this contractor ranged from approximately $2,661 to $20,131 per call, with completion dates spanning 2019 to 2020. The vocational expert services procured under this IDV are critical to the SSA's administrative hearing process, where independent expert opinions inform ALJ decisions on disability and supplemental security income claims. By establishing this BPA vehicle, the SSA gains flexible access to qualified vocational expert testimony without executing individual contracts for each hearing requirement, thereby streamlining procurement processes while ensuring consistent availability of specialized witness services for benefit determination appeals across the designated region.
