About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Broten and Associates LLC to provide vocational expert witness services for administrative proceedings. Under this Blanket Purchase Agreement, the contractor furnishes qualified vocational experts to testify before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) during hearings concerning appeals of denied Social Security benefits. The contract, with a ceiling value of $250,000, was awarded on April 10, 2025, and extends through March 31, 2030. No small business set-aside was utilized for this procurement. Broten and Associates LLC (UEI: MM5MZ6Q35HS9) serves as the prime contractor responsible for providing expert witness services to support SSA's adjudication process for benefit claims that have been denied and subsequently appealed.
Vocational expert testimony is critical to SSA's disability benefit determinations, as experts provide professional assessments regarding a claimant's vocational capacity and labor market realities. These services support the agency's evidentiary record during ALJ hearings, where claimants challenge initial benefit denials under programs administered by SSA. The five-year performance period and $250,000 contract ceiling structure this indefinite delivery vehicle to provide on-call expert witness services as needed to support SSA's hearing docket. The blanket purchase agreement structure allows SSA flexibility to issue task orders or purchase orders for individual vocational expert services throughout the contract period based on hearing scheduling and caseload demands.
