Offerors shall also demonstrate their experience in seeking and maintaining Joint Commission or equivalent accreditation standards and provide current accreditation if applicable. For each reference contract the Offeror submits as evidence of its experience providing in-home oxygen services or in-home ventilator services, or both, the Offeror’s narrative must clearly state the following information:

a. the legal name of entity with whom the Offeror held the contract;

b. the contract number;
