About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded this single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Shelton Rehabilitation Consulting, LLC (UEI: XD62JKXL1GM9) on April 16, 2025, to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative proceedings. Under this civilian federal contract with a ceiling value of $250,000, the prime contractor will supply qualified vocational experts to testify at hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in cases involving appeals of benefit denials. These hearings specifically address claims for benefits administered by the SSA, where vocational expertise is required to evaluate claimants' work capacity and rehabilitation potential. The contract carries no set-aside designation and extends through March 31, 2030, providing a multi-year vehicle for SSA to obtain these specialized expert services on an as-needed basis through task orders.
The Blanket Purchase Agreement structure allows the SSA to issue individual task orders against the established ceiling value, enabling flexible procurement of vocational expert witness services without requiring separate competitive solicitations for each hearing. Vocational experts serving in this capacity provide critical testimony regarding labor market conditions, job availability, and whether claimants can perform substantial gainful activity given their residual functional capacity and demographic characteristics. This contract supports the SSA's administrative hearing process by ensuring availability of qualified vocational professionals to assist ALJs in making informed decisions on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) appeal cases.
