About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Brown Brad W, doing business as Brown Rehabilitation Counseling, provides vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The contract, valued at $250,000, supports SSA's administrative hearing process by supplying qualified vocational experts who testify before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in benefit appeal cases. These hearings address claims for benefits under programs administered by the SSA, particularly in cases where beneficiaries have appealed the denial of Social Security benefits. The single-award contract is classified under the Vocational Expert program code and carries no set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through open competition. The contract period extends from the award date of April 1, 2025, through the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, providing a five-year service delivery window.
The SSA utilizes vocational expert witnesses during disability benefit hearings to provide specialized testimony regarding occupational requirements, labor market conditions, and the feasibility of claimants returning to work given their stated functional limitations. The vocational expert testimony serves as critical evidence in ALJ determinations regarding disability status under Title II (Social Security Disability Insurance) and Title XVI (Supplemental Security Income) programs. Under this Blanket Purchase Agreement, the contractor will be available to provide expert witness services on an as-needed basis through individual task orders, with the $250,000 ceiling representing the maximum obligation for all services rendered throughout the contract performance period. This arrangement enables the SSA to efficiently access qualified vocational expertise for its ongoing caseload of administrative appeals without maintaining full-time expert staff.
