About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), awarded as a single award on April 1, 2025, establishes a contract between the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Balter Rehabilitation Advocates LLC (UEI: L2QZLDQS6BE1) to provide vocational expert witness services. The contract carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through March 31, 2030, with no small business set-aside applied. Vocational experts engaged under this BPA will support SSA in administrative hearings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in matters involving appeals of denied Social Security benefits. These hearings typically involve claims for disability benefits and other programs administered by SSA, where vocational expert testimony regarding work capacity, labor market conditions, and job availability is essential to the adjudication process.
The contract structure as a BPA allows SSA to issue task orders against the established ceiling value as needed to obtain vocational expert services for individual cases proceeding to hearing. By securing a pre-established vendor relationship with defined rates and terms, SSA streamlines the procurement process for expert witness services while ensuring consistent availability of qualified vocational experts for its growing caseload of benefit appeals. This civilian contract supports SSA's administrative hearing operations and contributes to the agency's capacity to conduct thorough, evidence-based reviews of disputed benefit determinations.
