About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), awarded to James M. Breen (UEI: QS1PLHJNHSW1) by the Social Security Administration (SSA) on April 1, 2025, provides vocational expert witness services to support the SSA's disability determination process. The contract, valued at $250,000, operates as a single award, no set-aside vehicle with a performance period extending through March 31, 2030. The primary deliverable involves providing expert testimony and vocational consultation services during administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) who adjudicate appeals related to denial of SSA-administered benefits. Breen, a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a sole proprietorship, will deliver specialized vocational health reporting and medical-vocational expertise to support the agency's benefits adjudication proceedings.
The underlying solicitation, posted October 1, 2024, as a total small business set-aside, sought qualified vocational expert consultants with demonstrated experience in vocational assessment, familiarity with the Social Security Act, and proven ability to provide credible expert witness testimony. Services are to be performed throughout the United States, with the majority of work conducted virtually or at SSA field offices. The original solicitation indicated an anticipated contract value of $10-15 million annually across all awarded vendors, with a proposed structure of a 5-year base period followed by five one-year option periods. This BPA award to Breen represents the incumbent contractor's continuation in providing these specialized vocational expert services for the SSA's Region 05 hearing offices and represents an extension of Breen's prior history of delivering vocational consulting services to the agency.
