The award will be made to the responsible vendor or individual who submits the lowest quote to the Government.  More details forthcoming within the solicitation.  A session is defined as a site visit.  The Contractor will normally provide a maximum of 3 sessions per month, which includes one session for each of the services (MRI, CT and Ultrasound), when necessary.  The goal is to have the same personnel perform both MRI/CT services on as needed, but each service will be provided different days and have another dedicated personnel for the Ultrasound services, who would actually perform services in the Health Services Department.   Work hours will normally be between 7:00 am-3:30pm, Monday- Friday, excluding Federal Holidays.  Based upon previously required services, an estimated number of 12 sessions per year will be performed for MRI/CT and 12 sessions per year for Ultrasound at flat rates per visit.  Previously required services determined the total of inmates to be scheduled during site visits at the mutual agreement between the agency and contractor, and based primarily on the number of approved consultation requests and exam due dates.  The Contractor will provide a dedicated Certified Technologist (the same candidate can do both the MRI and CT as long as he/she has the certifications for both) and a driver (and an alternate to replace original driver for any reason) since the truck will be behind the fence at the institution.  The Contractor will provide a dedicated Certified Ultrasound Technologist. Required credentials and such are listed in the solicitation.  The Government intends to award a requirements-type contract with firm-fixed unit prices resulting from this solicitation.  The contract period shall consist of a base year and four option years.  The solicitation will be available on or about September 17, 2021 and will be distributed solely through the SAMs website (www.SAM.gov).  All future information concerning this acquisition, including solicitation amendments, will be distributed solely through this website.
