Efforts Made to Solicit From As Many Potential Sources As Is Practicable:

Contracting Officer’s Determination That the Costs to the Government Will Be Fair and Reasonable:

At this time, the Contracting Officer anticipates the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable, based on prices paid for services in previous years. This provider has been determined to be responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104-1.

Description of the Market Survey:

Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA has been determined to be the only high trauma and specialty service provider within a reasonable distance able to provide these particular requirements. Inmate ambulance referral for high trauma is at the discretion of local 911 services.
