About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded April 1, 2025, by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to Heiman Thomas H, a sole proprietorship, provides vocational expert witness services for administrative proceedings related to Social Security disability benefit determinations. The contract, valued at $250,000.00 with no set-aside designation, supports hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) who adjudicate appeals of benefit denials administered by the SSA. The prime contractor delivers expert testimony, vocational analysis, and supporting documentation to assist the SSA in evaluating claimant work capacity and employability during disability benefit hearings. The agreement establishes a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, providing the SSA with on-call access to qualified vocational expertise throughout the contract period.
Under this blanket purchase agreement, the SSA issues individual task orders to the contractor for specific hearing assignments, typically involving Region 5 Hearing Office proceedings. The contractor's vocational expert services inform disability determinations by providing professional assessment of labor market conditions, transferable skills, and vocational feasibility relative to claimant functional limitations. Historical task order values under the contractor's prior SSA agreements ranged from approximately $12,305 to $18,855, indicating typical individual assignment scopes. The current $250,000 ceiling affords the SSA sufficient funding flexibility to issue multiple task orders throughout the five-year contract period, ensuring consistent access to vocational expert resources for the adjudication of Social Security disability appeals.
