About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Counseling Center Tupelo LLP (UEI: ZKUUKANFM3V2) by the Social Security Administration on April 8, 2025, provides vocational expert witness services to support administrative law judge hearings for Social Security disability benefit appeals. The contract carries a ceiling value of $250,000 with a single award, no set-aside designation, and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. The primary deliverable involves expert testimony and consulting services regarding claimants' vocational capacity, specifically addressing whether individuals with disabilities and functional limitations can perform their past work or transition to alternative employment. These services directly support SSA's disability hearing operations and the adjudication of benefit denials under programs administered by the Social Security Administration.
The contractor, a woman-owned small business, has demonstrated relevant experience delivering vocational expert services to the SSA through prior blanket purchase agreements for Regions 04 and 05 Hearing Offices, having completed similar reporting services between June 2019 and June 2020 with a prior contract value of $158,480.23. The current agreement utilizes a firm fixed price structure and follows the SSA's established framework for procuring specialized vocational consulting expertise. Calls against this BPA will be issued on an as-needed basis to support individual hearings before administrative law judges across the SSA's disability hearing divisions, enabling the agency to access qualified vocational experts without the administrative burden of conducting separate competitive procurements for each engagement.
