About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Katrina S. Virden, a Woman Owned Small Business, by the Social Security Administration (SSA) on April 1, 2025, provides vocational expert witness services for administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings involving appeals of Social Security disability benefit denials. The contract carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and operates through March 31, 2030. Under this single-award IDV, the SSA procures expert consulting services to support the adjudication of disability claims at SSA hearing offices, where vocational experts provide testimony and analysis regarding a claimant's capacity to engage in substantial gainful activity. No set-asides were utilized in the award, and the contract was issued on a firm fixed price call order basis.
The contractor has previously delivered vocational expert reporting and hearing support services to the SSA under prior task orders, including VHR Express Reporting services at SSA Region 04 locations such as Long Beach, Mississippi. The scope of work encompasses the provision of qualified vocational expert testimony and documentation to support administrative proceedings where ALJs evaluate Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit claims. Through this IDV vehicle, the SSA maintains flexible access to specialized vocational expertise on an as-needed basis, enabling efficient procurement of services aligned with hearing office demand without requiring individual competitive solicitations for each engagement.
