About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Beacon Heights Vocational Experts, Inc. (doing business as North Carolina Vocational Experts) effective April 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. This indefinite delivery vehicle carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and includes no set-aside provisions. The contract establishes a mechanism for the SSA to procure vocational expert witnesses on an as-needed basis to support administrative proceedings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) during benefit appeal hearings. These hearings typically involve cases where individuals have appealed the SSA's initial denial of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
Under this agreement, Beacon Heights Vocational Experts, Inc. will provide expert testimony and related services to assist ALJs in evaluating vocational capacity, transferability of work skills, and labor market availability during disability benefit determination proceedings. The vocational expert's testimony is critical to establishing whether claimants possess the functional capacity and work history to engage in substantial gainful activity, which directly influences ALJ decisions on benefit eligibility. This five-year blanket purchase agreement enables the SSA to access specialized vocational expertise on a task order basis without requiring separate competitive procurements for individual hearing assignments, thereby streamlining administrative processes while maintaining quality expert testimony throughout the appeals process.
