About this IDV

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to GLJ Consulting LLC (UEI: CJ6XU2A5STU4) on April 8, 2025, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. This BPA establishes an indefinite delivery vehicle to provide vocational expert witness services to support SSA's administrative proceedings, specifically hearings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) that involve appeals of Social Security benefit denials. The contract was not issued under any small business or socioeconomic set-aside provision. As a civilian agency contract, this procurement addresses SSA's need for specialized expert testimony regarding vocational capacity, employability, and related labor market factors relevant to disability benefits determinations under the Social Security programs.

The BPA structure enables SSA to issue task orders on an as-needed basis throughout the five-year period of performance to obtain vocational expert services for individual hearing cases. Vocational experts provide critical expert testimony in Social Security disability hearings, offering professional opinions on occupational availability, transferability of skills, and whether claimants possess the capacity to perform substantial gainful activity. By establishing this blanket agreement vehicle, SSA secures a pre-negotiated source for these specialized services while maintaining flexibility to scale service volume according to hearing caseload demands, rather than committing to a fixed quantity of expert services upfront.
