About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Elizabeth Pasikowski, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship, effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, with a ceiling value of $250,000. This BPA was established to provide vocational expert witness services supporting SSA's administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings for disability benefit appeals. The contractor delivers expert testimony and vocational rehabilitation consulting to assist in evaluating claims for benefits administered by SSA. Ms. Pasikowski, operating out of Royal Oak, Michigan, performs all work herself and has established a track record of providing vocational expert consulting and VHR Express Reporting services to SSA through prior contract awards. The underlying solicitation, posted October 1, 2024, was set aside for small businesses and sought vendors qualified to provide expert witness testimony and vocational rehabilitation expertise with demonstrated experience in vocational assessment and familiarity with Social Security Act requirements.
The originating solicitation contemplated a five-year base period with five one-year option periods and estimated annual contract value of $10-15 million, with services to be performed throughout the United States, predominantly on a virtual or at-site basis at Social Security field offices. Work under the BPA is structured through individual calls or task orders issued against the ceiling value, allowing SSA to task the contractor on an as-needed basis for specific hearings and case evaluations. The services directly support SSA's disability determination process by providing qualified vocational experts to testify regarding claimants' vocational capabilities, transferability of skills, and employability in connection with benefit eligibility determinations. This procurement mechanism enables SSA to efficiently obtain specialized vocational expertise without establishing a full-time employment relationship while maintaining quality control through established performance standards.
