issues such as eligibility, service provision or

the NMDVR. The IHO makes decisions applying applicable State plans, Federal vocational
rehabilitation and independent living laws
and regulations, and State rules and policies
that are consistent with Federal requirements.

(NMDVR) strategic framework and is jointly
charged with the State Rehabilitation Council
(SRC). This RFP is designed to solicit proposals from qualified individuals who would like
to be hearing officers. The cases are required
by law to be assigned randomly among IHOs
(unless an IHO is jointly agreed upon by the individual and the NMDVR outside of the usual
assignment procedures.) The administrative
hearings may be held in any city in which
the NMDVR has an office; or occasionally
at another location (such as the individual’s
home) under unusual circumstances. The
IHO may not be an employee of NMDVR
or a member of the SRC. General information: NMDVR has assigned a Procurement
Manager who is responsible for the conduct
of this procurement whose name, address,
telephone number and e-mail address are listed
below: Randy Herrera, New Mexico Division
