Kinley, Frances N

Frances N. Kinley is a sole proprietorship owned by Frances N. Kinley based in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Kinley is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and a woman-owned business that provides vocational expert consulting services to the federal government.

Through prime federal contract awards, Kinley has provided vocational expert reporting services to the Social Security Administration under blanket purchase agreement calls. These services, completed between March 2019 and June 2020, supported disability hearings before administrative law judges. The awards totaled over $100,000, were all firm fixed price arrangements, and did not have any set-aside provisions.

Additionally, in March 2020 Kinley was awarded a five-year blanket purchase agreement from the Social Security Administration to provide ongoing vocational expert consulting services in support of the agency's disability insurance program. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle has no defined value but establishes a long-term business relationship. Under it, the Social Security Administration immediately issued a $22,612 firm fixed price call for vocational reporting through June 2020. The original solicitation sought small business set-asides for these consulting services. Kinley will supply vocational expertise and reporting to assist the agency with disability determinations and benefits claims assessments.
