About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Lopez Kramberg Inc. (UEI: CJM7WQ1HJYM5) to provide vocational expert witness services in support of administrative hearings before Social Security Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The contract, which carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and runs from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2030, was awarded without set-aside restrictions. Under this BPA, the contractor will supply qualified vocational expert witnesses to testify and provide professional opinions during ALJ proceedings involving appeals of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit denials. These experts will evaluate claimants' vocational capabilities, work history, and functional limitations to assist ALJs in making determinations regarding benefit eligibility.
The vocational expert services procured through this indefinite delivery vehicle will support SSA's administrative hearing process by providing specialized testimony on labor market conditions, transferability of skills, and the availability of work suitable to claimants with documented impairments. By utilizing a BPA structure with a multi-year performance period, SSA has established an efficient mechanism to meet anticipated demand for expert witnesses without requiring individual competitive procurements for each hearing. The contract's design allows for task order issuance as hearing requirements arise, enabling the agency to manage costs while ensuring access to qualified vocational experts throughout the five-year performance period.
