Johnson Myrtle M

Johnson Myrtle M is a sole proprietorship owned by Myrtle M. Johnson that is registered as a minority and women owned small business. The firm provides vocational expert consulting services to the Social Security Administration (SSA) in support of disability programs.

Johnson has received prime federal contract awards from the SSA to provide vocational rehabilitation reporting services under the agency's Vocational Rehabilitation Blanket Purchase Agreement program. These services include vocational expert testimony for administrative law judge hearings to evaluate disability claimants' ability to work. Specific awards have included $6,444 for vocational reporting to be completed by June 2020 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, $913 for similar express reporting completed by September 2019, and $10,409.58 for medical-vocational express reporting finished by June 2019. The awards were firm-fixed price calls issued under the SSA's blanket purchase agreement for vocational expertise without a set-aside designation.

Most recently in April 2020, Johnson was awarded a 5-year single-award blanket purchase agreement from the SSA with a potential value of $0 to continue providing vocational expert consulting services in Region 06 hearing offices. The initial call issued under this BPA was the $6,444 vocational reporting services contract to be carried out in Pine Bluff. As task orders are issued, the blanket purchase agreement allows the SSA to acquire these services on an as-needed basis to support disability evaluations and appeals.
