About this IDV

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Allison Berry (UEI: PVT9A72MJNQ3) on April 26, 2025, with a ceiling value of $250,000.00 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. This indefinite delivery vehicle was established without set-asides to procure vocational expert witness services for use during administrative proceedings. The primary deliverable under this BPA is the provision of qualified vocational expert witnesses who testify at hearings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in matters involving appeals of denied Social Security benefits. These expert witnesses support SSA's adjudicatory process by providing professional testimony and analysis relevant to beneficiary eligibility determinations.

The vocational expert services provided through this agreement support SSA's disability benefits appeal process, which typically involves cases where claimants challenge benefit denials and seek reconsideration of their eligibility for programs such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). The contractor is tasked with delivering qualified experts capable of rendering professional opinions on vocational-related matters during formal ALJ hearings, a critical function in ensuring thorough and informed adjudication of contested benefit claims. The five-year performance period provides SSA with an established vendor relationship and streamlined procurement mechanism to access these specialized services on an as-needed basis throughout the agreement's term.
