This contract was awarded on April 1, 2025, without set-aside provisions. The agreement establishes a vehicle through which SSA can issue calls for vocational expert witness services to support administrative law judge hearings in connection with appeals of benefit denials under SSA's disability programs. The contract requires Ms. Ehlinger to provide expert testimony, consulting, and reporting services related to vocational issues that arise during disability benefit adjudication proceedings.

The original solicitation for this blanket purchase agreement was set aside entirely for small businesses, though the current award itself carries no set-aside designation. Historical performance under predecessor agreements demonstrates Ms. Ehlinger's established capability in delivering vocational expert testimony and vocational history report (VHR) services to support SSA's disability determination process. The individual calls issued against the agreement have funded discrete vocational expert witness engagements and comprehensive VHR Express reporting, with completion periods historically spanning from June 2019 through June 2020. This blanket purchase agreement structure allows SSA to efficiently procure specialized vocational expertise on an as-needed basis to support the agency's administrative hearing and disability benefits adjudication functions.
