JANICE HASTERT

JANICE HASTERT specializes in vocational rehabilitation consulting services, providing expert testimony and strategic guidance to support administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges. The contractor delivers tailored vocational assessments, labor market analyses, and functional capacity evaluations to assist federal adjudicators in determining eligibility and outcomes for Social Security disability claimants. Their technical expertise lies in interpreting vocational rehabilitation standards, applying Department of Labor employment data, and synthesizing medical and occupational evidence into legally defensible conclusions. A key differentiator is their focused engagement in regional hearing office operations, ensuring alignment with SSA’s procedural requirements and evidentiary thresholds for disability determinations. The contractor has established a direct working relationship with the Social Security Administration, primarily supporting the Region 07 Hearing Office through expert consulting services during disability adjudication proceedings. Their engagement involves modifying contract scope to align with evolving case management needs, including updates to Contracting Officer’s Representatives, indicating an adaptive, responsive partnership model built on trust and regulatory familiarity. JANICE HASTERT’s primary industry focus is NAICS 624310—Vocational Rehabilitation Services—which in practice means delivering specialized labor and disability evaluation services to federal agencies administering social safety net programs. The contractor operates within a narrow but critical vertical: vocational analysis for Social Security disability hearings, positioning them as a niche provider with deep domain knowledge in federal disability adjudication workflows and vocational rehabilitation policy. As a Woman-Owned Business certified under the SBA’s 8(a) program and structured as a 2J entity, JANICE HASTERT brings a small business perspective to federal contracting with an emphasis on agility and compliance. Based in Oldsmar, Florida, the contractor maintains a focused geographic footprint aligned with regional SSA operations, enabling efficient service delivery to hearing offices while leveraging federal small business procurement preferences.
