About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Achieve: Career Guidance, Coaching, And Counseling Services LLC (UEI: EZJSMJ88AAJ6) to provide vocational expert witness services supporting administrative proceedings before SSA Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract, which commenced April 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, was awarded without a set-aside restriction. The vocational experts engaged under this BPA serve a critical role in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit appeal hearings, providing specialized testimony and analysis regarding claimants' vocational capabilities, work history, transferable skills, and labor market conditions relevant to disability determinations.
The BPA framework enables SSA to efficiently procure vocational expert services on an as-needed basis throughout the five-year period of performance, accommodating the agency's variable demand for expert witness testimony across its national ALJ hearing docket. By utilizing a vocational expert contractor, SSA obtains independent professional assessment of claimants' functional work capacity and employment prospects, which constitutes essential evidence in adjudicating complex disability benefit denials and supporting the agency's administrative appeal processes. The contract represents a non-competitive procurement mechanism for securing specialized expert witness services to support fair and thorough disability benefit determination proceedings.
