Exits from Disability Evidence Study

The Social Security Administration is seeking information to conduct an Exits from Disability Evidence Study. The purpose of the study is to collect data on the service, medical, and employment needs of individuals ages 18 to 64 who are exiting Social Security disability programs due to medical improvement. The study aims to identify potential interventions and inform policy recommendations to help this population achieve sustainable employment and self-sufficiency. Interested offerors must submit proposals by November 24, 2020. Evaluation criteria will include the offeror's approach to gathering information, producing policy recommendations, and meeting the ultimate goal of helping Exiters and Possible Exiters obtain long-term jobs.

There is no set-aside designation for this pre-solicitation notice. It is anticipated that the work will be conducted under NAICS code 541720 with a primary PSC code of R499. As the incumbent, the agency expects to award one contract valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000 to collect data and report findings over a one-year period. The final report should provide testable policy options to aid individuals transitioning from disability programs to employment.
