About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Pegram-Wargel Pauline (doing business as Pauline Pegram Ma), a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Rochester Hills, Michigan, to provide vocational expert witness services in support of disability benefit adjudication proceedings. The BPA, effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and requires no set-aside designation. Under this indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle, the contractor supplies vocational expert consulting services to SSA Region 05 hearing offices to support administrative proceedings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) hearing appeals on denied Social Security disability benefit claims. The vocational expert services assist in evaluating claimants' work capacity and vocational feasibility as part of the SSA's determination process for programs including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
The contractor's scope of work encompasses the provision of specialized vocational expert reporting services, including VHR Express Reporting and ME-VE Express Reporting, which support the adjudication of disability claims through detailed vocational analysis and testimony. Task orders issued against the BPA are structured as firm fixed-price calls, with historical call values ranging from approximately $8,500 to $34,600. Prior to this award, Pegram-Wargel Pauline successfully delivered vocational expert services under predecessor BPA arrangements with completion dates extending through June 2020, demonstrating established capability in providing these specialized services to SSA's hearing offices. The contractor performs work to support SSA's adjudication infrastructure, contributing expert analysis critical to the agency's evaluation of claimants' residual functional capacity and vocational rehabilitation potential.
