All correspondence must be made through the Vendor Portal. Specifications include, but are not limited to: Maricopa County (County) seeks a singular contractor or multiple contractors to provide ultrasound services and/or radiographic readings for Correctional Health Services (CHS). CHS is responsible for providing ultrasound services and radiographic readings for all incarcerated patients in the County jails and will accomplish this via contractor(s) per this resulting contract. CHS estimates approximately 7,400 x-rays and 570 ultrasound examinations are performed annually. CHS providers order ultrasounds and radiographic studies based on medical necessity on an “as needed” basis. Therefore, the County provides no guarantee as to the actual number of ultrasound services and radiographic readings that will occur annually. Given the associated security, labor, and cost issues, proposals requiring incarcerated patients to be transported off-site for these services will not be considered. All contractors entering the County jails are subject to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) security regulations to maintain a safe correctional environment.
