About this IDV

The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Michael L Stinson Ma CRC Inc., doing business as Michael L Stinson & Associates, effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, with a ceiling value of $250,000. This BPA establishes a vehicle for the SSA to procure vocational expert witness services to support administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) that address appeals of denied Social Security disability benefits. The contractor provides specialized vocational analysis and expert testimony to evaluate claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to perform substantial gainful activity, thereby supporting the adjudication of disability claims under SSA programs. The contract is funded through the civilian SSA budget with no small business or other set-aside provisions applied.

Performance of vocational expert services under this BPA occurs in Austin, Texas, and is delivered on a firm fixed-price basis through individual task orders (calls). Historical performance data indicates that prior calls under predecessor agreements ranged from approximately $3,400 to $32,700 in individual task order values and were designated as VHR Express Reporting and ME-VE Express Reporting services. The vocational expert services procured through this BPA are essential to ensuring equitable disability determination processes by providing professional analysis and courtroom testimony that clarifies claimants' work capabilities during the administrative appeals process.
