Ganoe, James E.

James E. Ganoe is a sole proprietorship owned by a service-disabled veteran that provides vocational expert consulting services to the federal government. As an independent contractor, Mr. Ganoe serves as an expert witness providing testimony on vocational evaluations to Administrative Law Judges in disability benefits hearings for the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Over the past two years, Mr. Ganoe has been awarded several prime contracts by SSA to provide vocational expert testimony for disability hearings in Region 03 Hearing Offices. Specifically, he was issued five blanket purchase agreement calls totaling over $23,000 in potential value to deliver vocational expert express reporting and consultations in support of SSA disability insurance and supplemental security income benefit determinations. The services were not set aside for any specific socioeconomic categories.

Most recently in 2020, SSA awarded Mr. Ganoe a single-award blanket purchase agreement to continue serving as a vocational expert consultant for Region 03 through March 2025. The agreement has a potential value of $0 to provide expert opinion testimony at hearings on issues such as an individual's ability to perform past work or adjust to new employment given factors like age, education, experience and medical conditions. The on-demand services will assist SSA with efficiently adjudicating disability benefits hearings and appeals.
