About this IDV
Saldivar & Associates, L.L.C., a minority-owned small business, holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide vocational expert witness services on an as-needed basis. Under this agreement established April 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, the contractor delivers expert testimony and consulting services to support SSA hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in cases involving appeals of denied disability benefits. The contract ceiling value is $250,000.00, with no set-aside designation applied. Performance of services takes place in Houston, Texas, and the contractor's services are critical to SSA's disability determination process, where vocational experts assess claimants' residual functional capacity and employability in the context of available work in the national economy.
The Blanket Purchase Agreement structure allows SSA to issue firm fixed-price call orders against the ceiling value as vocational expert services are required for specific ALJ hearings and related matters. Consistent with the contractor's prior performance history under related SSA contracts, services likely include vocational rehabilitation assessments, labor market analysis, and expert testimony regarding an individual's capacity to perform work activities. The single-award structure reflects SSA's determination that Saldivar & Associates possesses the necessary expertise and capability to fulfill the agency's vocational expert requirements throughout the five-year contract period, eliminating the need for competitive multiple-award arrangements.
