- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a requirement for the services of a contractor to provide national training and technical assistance in support of the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) Program and the Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS) Program. The WIPA Program provides work incentive planning, assistance, and outreach services to SSA beneficiaries receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) based on disability or blindness seeking employment in all States, the District of Columbia and US territories. The PABSS Program provides information and referral to SSDI and SSI beneficiaries about work incentives and employment; information and technical assistance on work incentives to individuals, attorneys, governmental agencies, employment networks, other service providers, and advocacy organizations; and advocacy to identify and correct deficiencies in entities providing vocational rehabilitation services, employment services, and other support services to disability beneficiaries. In order to provide the WIPA and PABSS Programs with the necessary knowledge and tools to disseminate accurate information about work incentive programs to beneficiaries with disabilities, SSA plans to issue a solicitation for a contractor to develop and provide national training and technical assistance to these programs. SSA anticipates awarding a single, firm-fixed-price requirements type contract for one year from the date of award with provisions for two one-year option periods.
