About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded April 1, 2025, provides vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA) to support hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in disability benefits appeal cases. The prime contractor, Kay Squires Gilreath, Vocational Consultant, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Houston, Texas, will deliver expert testimony and analysis for SSA Region 06 Hearing Office proceedings involving claims for benefits administered by the SSA. The contract carries a ceiling value of $250,000 with a five-year period of performance extending through March 31, 2030. No set-aside was utilized for this single-award indefinite delivery vehicle. The contractor's services focus on classifying claimants' job skills and work experience to assess transferability to other occupations based on medical-vocational profiles, supporting SSA's disability claims determinations.
The vocational expert services under this agreement facilitate the Social Security disability appeals process by providing qualified expert witnesses who assess whether individuals appealing benefit denials retain the capacity to engage in substantial gainful activity given their documented medical conditions and work history. Based on the contractor's prior performance history with the SSA, service delivery includes VHR EXPRESS reporting and ME-VE EXPRESS reporting mechanisms that structure vocational assessments in compliance with SSA evidentiary standards. This procurement enables the SSA's Administrative Law Judges to obtain independent vocational analysis during hearings, ensuring informed adjudication of disability benefit disputes and supporting the agency's compliance with applicable regulations governing evidence presentation in Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income proceedings.
