About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded by the Social Security Administration (SSA) on April 1, 2025, establishes a single-award contract with Behavioral & Substance Abuse Counseling LLC (UEI: N3KQC2SLBD43) to provide vocational expert witness services. The contract has a ceiling value of $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, representing a five-year period of performance. The agreement was awarded without set-aside restrictions, indicating that the procurement was competed among all eligible contractors. Vocational expert witnesses serve a critical function in SSA's administrative hearing process, providing specialized testimony before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) regarding claimants' work capacity and transferability of skills during benefit denial appeals.
The primary deliverable under this BPA is the provision of qualified vocational expert witnesses to support SSA's disability benefits adjudication process. These experts testify in hearings concerning claims for benefits administered by SSA, with particular focus on appeals related to the denial of certain benefits programs. Vocational experts evaluate and opine on employment-related factors, including labor market conditions, job availability, and a claimant's ability to transition to alternative work given their age, education, and work history. This contract enables SSA to access external vocational expertise on an as-needed basis through task orders or individual purchase orders, ensuring the agency has qualified professionals available to present evidence during the adjudication of disability benefit claims before the ALJ.
