UISS reserves the right to disqualify any vendor based on objective evidence of possible violation of the law or failure to comply with industry standards. UISS encourages the participation of small, women, and/or minority-owned businesses. Eligible vendors must meet all applicable Joint Commission on on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), regulations and must not be on the Medicare exclusion list.
