About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to David W. Cox (UEI: J7PXD6K44TB3) effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative proceedings. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, the contractor will supply vocational experts to testify during hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) appeal cases. The agreement carries no set-aside designation and does not specify a ceiling value in the award documentation provided. This BPA establishes the terms and conditions under which SSA may issue task orders for vocational expert services on an as-needed basis throughout the five-year period of performance.
Vocational experts serve a critical function in Social Security disability benefit proceedings by providing expert testimony regarding occupational factors, including the transferability of work skills, job availability in the national economy, and the claimant's capacity to perform work at various functional levels. These experts are typically retained when ALJ hearings involve complex vocational assessments or disputes regarding a claimant's residual functional capacity and ability to work. By establishing this blanket purchase agreement with an individual contractor specializing in vocational expert testimony, SSA has positioned itself to efficiently obtain qualified expert witnesses for disability hearings without requiring a new procurement action for each engagement.
