Guidance Process Associates has received numerous prime federal contract awards from the Social Security Administration to provide vocational expert services, specifically VHR Express Reporting, to support disability claim hearings and determinations.

The completion dates range from June 2020 back through March 2019, with potential values from $4,793 to $23,116. As the Social Security Administration relies on vocational experts to evaluate claimants' vocational factors, these contracts allow Guidance Process Associates to provide services and reporting to aid in disability program administration.

Guidance Process Associates also holds a $0 blanket purchase agreement with the Social Security Administration, awarded April 2020, to furnish vocational expert consulting services for Region 05 hearing offices through March 2025. This single award vehicle, with no set-aside, facilitates the agency's procurement of expert services to assist administrative law judges in adjudicating disability claims. Under the blanket purchase agreement, the Social Security Administration issued a $4,793 firm-fixed price call for VHR Express Reporting services in Wyoming, Ohio through June 2020. The agreement and associated call provide an efficient means for the agency to obtain vocational expert services from Guidance Process Associates in support of disability determinations.
