About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to James M. Fuller, a sole proprietorship based in Detroit, Michigan, to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings. This civilian contract, valued at $250,000, became effective on April 1, 2025, and extends through March 31, 2030. The prime contractor delivers vocational expert analysis and testimony to support SSA's adjudication of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit claims. Under this BPA, vocational experts evaluate applicants' work histories, skills, and medical conditions to provide evidence-based assessments that inform ALJ determinations in benefit appeals. The contractor utilizes reporting tools such as VHR EXPRESS and ME-VE EXPRESS to document and communicate vocational analysis findings to the agency.
The contract structure reflects SSA's established relationship with the contractor, who has previously delivered vocational expert services through multiple firm fixed-price task orders under prior BPA vehicles. As calls are issued against this IDV, SSA will issue individual task orders for specific vocational expert analyses required for pending ALJ hearings. The single-award designation indicates that SSA determined James M. Fuller possessed unique qualifications or capabilities to provide these specialized services without competition. This arrangement enables SSA to efficiently procure vocational expert testimony to expedite disability benefit determinations while maintaining consistency in the quality and methodology of vocational analysis across the agency's hearing offices.
