About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded to Mary Catherine Elvir (UEI: GR68C381A575), a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship, provides vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The contract, valued at $250,000 with a performance period through March 31, 2030, supports SSA hearings conducted before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in appeals of denied disability benefit claims. The vocational expert services deliver analysis and testimony regarding claimants' residual functional capacity and ability to engage in substantial gainful activity, critical evidentiary components in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit determination proceedings. No set-aside provisions were applied to this single award. Performance is conducted in New Orleans, Louisiana, with work supporting SSA Region 6 Hearing Offices.
As an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity Blanket Purchase Agreement, this contract vehicle enables the SSA to issue individual task orders or calls as ALJ hearings are scheduled without requiring separate competitive procurements for each vocational expert engagement. The contract structure provides flexible access to Elvir's expertise across an extended performance window, allowing the agency to efficiently obtain vocational testimony as caseloads and hearing schedules demand. Prior iterations of this contract arrangement with Elvir generated task order calls ranging from $184 to $13,292.25, establishing an operational pattern whereby the SSA incrementally obligates funds against the contract ceiling as specific expert witness requirements arise during the administrative appeal process.
