About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Ryan Gail, doing business as Innovative Rehabilitation Consulting (UEI: NGQKWFPFKN42), to provide vocational expert witness services in support of disability benefit hearings before Administrative Law Judges. The contract, effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and was issued under a total small business set-aside. The primary scope involves delivering expert testimony and vocational rehabilitation expertise to support SSA's disability determination appeals process, with work performed throughout the United States, primarily through virtual services or at Social Security field offices. The contractor must demonstrate significant experience in vocational assessment, familiarity with the Social Security Act, and ability to provide effective expert witness testimony to substantiate or challenge vocational capacity claims in benefit denial appeals.
This procurement originated from a solicitation posted October 1, 2024, with a proposal due date of November 27, 2024, and an anticipated contract start of January 1, 2025. The underlying solicitation indicated an estimated annual contract value of $10–$15 million across the broader vocational expert services market, though the awarded BPA reflects a more limited ceiling of $250,000 for this individual contractor. Evaluation criteria emphasized technical expertise, quality of past work performance, and price competitiveness. The contract structure includes a five-year base period with potential for five one-year option periods, enabling SSA to maintain continuity of expert witness services for administrative hearings related to Social Security disability benefit appeals.
