James M Ryan

James M Ryan is a sole proprietorship providing vocational expert consulting services to the federal government, specifically the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Ryan has been awarded several firm fixed price calls against the SSA's Vocational Expert Reporting Blanket Purchase Agreement to provide VHR EXPRESS REPORTING services in support of the agency's disability programs. The calls, taking place in Cumberland, MD between 2019-2020, required Ryan to deliver specialized reporting and consultation aligned with the SSA's regulatory guidelines for evaluating disability claimants' ability to perform gainful work. Additionally, Ryan held a BPA call to provide ME-VE EXPRESS REPORTING services in June 2019. No subcontractors or set aside designations were used.

The SSA also awarded Ryan a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement in April 2020 to provide ongoing vocational expert consulting services for Region 03 hearing offices. A $6,032 call was placed against this BPA in June 2020 for VHR EXPRESS REPORTING work taking place in Cumberland, MD through the end of that month. The underlying BPA aims to procure these consulting services to assist administrative law judges in disability hearings. As the agency responsible for the nation's Social Security programs, the vocational expert services contracted enable evaluation of claimants' ability to perform gainful work activity based on the SSA's regulatory criteria.
