About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded on April 1, 2025, by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to prime contractor Alissa Ann Smith provides vocational expert witness services for administrative proceedings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in Social Security disability benefit appeal hearings. The contract, valued at $250,000 with a ceiling completion date of March 31, 2030, supplies independent vocational assessments and expert testimony to support SSA's determination of whether disability benefit claimants possess the functional capacity to engage in substantial gainful activity. The single-award BPA with no set-aside designation designates Mountain View, Arkansas as the primary place of performance. Alissa Ann Smith, a woman-owned small business operating as a sole proprietorship, brings established expertise in vocational expert consulting, having previously delivered over $150,000 in vocational hearing reports and medical-vocational expert services across seven prior call contracts issued between 2019 and 2020.
The vocational expert services procured under this agreement directly support SSA's mission to adjudicate disability claims by providing current, objective evidence regarding claimants' residual functional capacity and labor market conditions. These services enable ALJs to make informed decisions regarding benefit entitlements by supplying expert analysis of whether claimants can transition to alternative work given their documented impairments and vocational profile. The five-year indefinite delivery vehicle structure allows SSA to issue task orders for vocational expert services as needed throughout the performance period, providing flexible procurement of specialized expert witness testimony without requiring competitive re-solicitation for individual hearing assignments.
