About this IDV

This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), awarded to Cecile Johnson, licensed master social worker and certified rehabilitation counselor (doing business as Cecile Johnson, LMSW, CRC), provides vocational expert witness services to the Social Security Administration (SSA) in support of disability benefits hearings. The contractor delivers expert testimony and reporting regarding job availability and an individual's capacity to perform substantial gainful activity, which directly supports the SSA's administrative law judge (ALJ) determinations in appeals of denied benefits. Services are delivered on a single award basis with no set-aside designation, with a contract ceiling of $250,000 and a period of performance extending from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030. The place of performance is Houston, Texas, with services primarily supporting the SSA Region 6 Hearing Office.

The solicitation sought vocational expert consulting services to supply qualified expert testimony during disability determination hearings before ALJs. Task orders have been issued historically under firm fixed price arrangements for specific vocational expert express reporting assignments, with prior calls ranging from approximately $2,957 to $19,751 per order. This BPA structure enables the SSA to efficiently procure on-demand vocational expert services without requiring full and open competition for each individual hearing requirement, streamlining the agency's administrative processes while maintaining access to qualified vocational expert witnesses essential to the appeals process for social security disability insurance and supplemental security income beneficiaries.
