Everts Vocational Services LLC

Everts Vocational Services LLC is a woman-owned, for-profit sole proprietorship based in Toledo, Ohio and registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to conduct business with the federal government. The company specializes in vocational consulting and expert services related to Social Security disability benefits determinations and workers' rehabilitation assessments.

Through prime contracts and blanket purchase agreements, Everts Vocational Services has been engaged by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide vocational expert consulting and testimony for administrative law judge hearings involving Social Security disability insurance claims. In June 2020, the firm was awarded a $19,407 firm-fixed-price call to deliver VHR Express Reporting services in support of the SSA's vocational expert program through the end of the fiscal year. These vocational expert services aid the SSA in evaluating the vocational impacts of an applicant's medical conditions and ability to perform work. Everts has not received preferential small business set-aside awards, competing through full and open competition for these professional services contracts with the agency overseeing federal retirement and disability benefit programs.

The SSA has also awarded Everts Vocational Services two single-award blanket purchase agreements establishing the firm as a pre-qualified vendor for vocational expert consulting services through March 2025. Under these indefinite delivery vehicles with $0 obligation values, the SSA can issue future calls or orders to Everts for specialized vocational assessment in disability hearings across the agency's Region 5 and Region 6 jurisdictions covering multiple states. While the BPA construct allows for the streamlined procurement of these key consultancy services needed for SSA's adjudication of disability claims, the agency maintains the prerogative to re-compete vocational expert requirements through new solicitations prior to the 2025 ordering period expirations.
