About this IDV
Dennis W Gustafson, a sole proprietor, has been awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide vocational expert services supporting the agency's disability determination process. Under this Civilian agency contract, Gustafson furnishes vocational expert testimony and written reports for administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) who adjudicate appeals of SSA benefit denials. The contract, awarded April 1, 2025, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 with performance extending through March 31, 2030, and was issued without set-aside provisions. As prime contractor, Gustafson delivers vocational analysis, testimony, and expert evaluations on disability claimants' employment prospects and transferable skills to support the SSA's Region 05 Hearing Office in evaluating whether claimants can perform substantial gainful activity.
The vocational expert services procured under this BPA are essential to the SSA's adjudication of Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income benefit claims. Through firm fixed-price task orders issued against this vehicle, Gustafson provides express reporting and expert analysis that assists ALJs in making disability determinations by assessing claimants' functional capacity and labor market realities. The historical performance under prior BPA iterations demonstrates Gustafson's established capability in this specialized consulting function, with prior task orders ranging in value from approximately $14,000 to $42,000. This five-year indefinite delivery agreement establishes a framework for SSA to procure vocational expert services on an as-needed basis without requiring new competitive procurements for individual hearing requirements.
