Additionally, Group 5 Consulting was awarded a 5-year single-award blanket purchase agreement in 2020 from the Social Security Administration under the Vocational Expert program. This agreement has a potential value of $0 to provide vocational expert consulting services for Region 10 hearing offices in disability claim hearings before an administrative law judge through 2025.
