About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Occupational Planning and Placement Inc. (OPP), a for-profit vocational consulting firm based in East Jordan, Michigan, to provide vocational expert witness services and related analysis for administrative hearings before SSA Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The BPA, effective from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and includes no set-aside provisions. Under this indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, OPP will deliver vocational expert testimony, assessments, reporting, and consulting services on a nationwide basis to support SSA's evaluation of disability benefits claims and claimants' work capacity determinations in the context of benefits appeals.
The contract scope encompasses firm fixed price calls for vocational analysis, expert witness services, and express reporting to assist ALJs in making informed decisions on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit denial appeals. OPP's performance will be conducted at its Michigan location and potentially at other sites as required to serve the nationwide demand for vocational expert services. This BPA represents a continuation of SSA's established relationship with OPP, which has previously delivered similar services under prior awards dating to 2019-2020 and a separate five-year BPA awarded in April 2020. The current award provides SSA with a structured procurement vehicle to obtain specialized vocational expertise necessary for the administrative adjudication of disability benefit disputes.
