About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Mceachin Pauline, doing business as Vocational Concepts (UEI: DLZAJPNU9444), to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative hearings before Social Security Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract has a ceiling value of $250,000 with a period of performance from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030. Services encompass vocational expert testimony, assessments, and consulting to support SSA's disability benefit determination process, including evaluations of claimant work capacity and vocational rehabilitation potential in accordance with the Social Security Act. Performance will occur primarily at SSA field offices, with historical work concentrated in the Warren, Michigan area within SSA Region 05. The original solicitation, posted October 1, 2024 with a November 27, 2024 proposal due date, was set aside as a Total Small Business procurement with an estimated annual value of $10–15 million government-wide, though this award to the incumbent represents a more limited scope under the blanket purchase agreement mechanism.
Vocational Concepts, a woman-owned small business and sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since 2003, brings established experience delivering vocational expert services to SSA, with prior prime contract awards exceeding $153,000. The contractor will furnish specialized vocational reporting and expert witness testimony via individual task orders placed against this blanket purchase agreement to inform disability benefit decisions across the agency's hearing offices. Services are funded entirely through the civilian SSA budget with no set-aside designation applied to this particular award, and the contractor will continue providing vocational evaluations and testimony supporting the agency's disability determination programs throughout the contract's five-year base period.
