Salek, Jeannine

Jeannine Salek is a sole proprietorship providing vocational expert consulting services to the federal government. As a vocational expert, Salek assists in disability hearings before Social Security Administration (SSA) administrative law judges by offering evidence on claimants' ability to perform work.

Through past prime federal contract awards, all from the SSA, Salek has provided specialized vocational expert reporting to support the agency's disability determination process. Specifically, Salek was issued firm fixed price blanket purchase agreement calls totaling over $86,000 for vocational expert and medical-vocational expert express reporting from 2019-2020. These call contracts under the vocational expert BPA aimed to obtain timely, objective evidence on disability applicants' capacity for substantial gainful activity. Additionally, Salek's reporting services had no set-aside designation and required completion ranging from March to June of each year.

Currently, Salek holds a single-award SSA blanket purchase agreement for ongoing vocational expert consulting through March 2025. Under this BPA, valued at $0, Salek will continue assisting in hearings through expert testimony on claimants' ability to work. Recently, the BPA was utilized to award a $13,311 firm fixed price call for VHR express reporting by June 2020. As with past awards, Salek's services under the BPA help determine disability status by providing specialized evidence to the SSA's regional office.
