About this IDV
This Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded on April 1, 2025, establishes a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle between the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Cochlin Consulting Services (UEI: J9E8YJTVXLR1) to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative proceedings. The contract has a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through March 31, 2030, with no set-aside provisions applied. The prime contractor will supply vocational experts to testify during hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit appeal cases, specifically those involving claims for benefits administered by the SSA where benefit denials are being contested.
Vocational expert testimony is a critical component of SSA disability hearings, as these professionals provide assessment and opinion evidence regarding vocational feasibility, work capacity, transferability of skills, and labor market conditions. The contracted services support the ALJ adjudication process by furnishing credible expert analysis to inform judicial determinations regarding whether claimants retain sufficient functional capacity to engage in substantial gainful activity. Under this agreement, Cochlin Consulting Services will be tasked with providing qualified vocational experts on an as-needed basis within the established contract ceiling, with services performed remotely or at hearing locations as directed by the SSA throughout the five-year performance period.
