Please only submit information on subcontractors and teaming partners performing key or critical portions of the Ambulance Services effort.

To facilitate this relevancy determination, offeror’s shall include a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of the offeror’s company.

SUBCONTRACTOR/TEAMING PARTNER CONSENT FORM FOR THE RELEASE OR PAST AND PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION TO THE PRIME CONTRACTOR
