About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to New Link Services LLC, a minority and woman-owned small business, to provide vocational expert witness services in support of disability benefit hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract, valued at $250,000, became effective on April 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, and carries no set-aside designation. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, New Link Services LLC will furnish expert testimony and vocational analysis to support SSA adjudication processes for claimants appealing denials of benefits administered by the agency. This service category is critical to the disability determination process, as vocational experts provide specialized testimony regarding labor market conditions, transferability of skills, and the availability of work that claimants can perform given their documented impairments.
The contractor's role involves delivering objective expert witness services that inform ALJ decision-making in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases. As a firm fixed-price BPA structure, call orders will be issued against the $250K ceiling as the SSA requires vocational expert services for specific hearings. New Link Services LLC's previous experience delivering vocational expert consulting services to SSA offices and ALJs, combined with its background in health reporting services, positions the contractor to provide consistent, specialized testimony on disability-related vocational issues throughout the five-year performance period.
