Northwest Disability Management

Northwest Disability Management is a for-profit, S-corporation based in Eugene, Oregon that provides vocational rehabilitation services to federal government agencies. Specifically, the company serves as a vocational expert to provide impartial testimony and assessments on disability claims for the Social Security Administration.

Since 2019, Northwest Disability Management has received several prime federal contract awards from the Social Security Administration under the Vocational Expert major program to provide VHR and ME-VE Express Reporting services in support of disability hearings and determinations. These firm fixed price blanket purchase agreement calls, with no set aside designation, require vocational consulting and reporting services to evaluate disability applicants' ability to perform other work. In total, Northwest Disability Management has been awarded over $90,000 in recent federal contracts to deliver vocational rehabilitation expertise and evidentiary materials for disability hearings.

Additionally, in 2020, Northwest Disability Management was awarded a 5-year, single award blanket purchase agreement from the Social Security Administration to continue supplying vocational expert witness services for disability hearings in the agency's Region 10 Hearing Office. While holding no guaranteed value, this contract vehicle enables the agency to procure impartial testimony and specialty consulting on an as-needed basis through 2025 to inform decision-making in disability claims cases. Initial orders under this agreement match Northwest Disability Management's history of providing expert vocational analysis and reporting to assist in timely disability determinations.
