Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) Ambulance Service for Region 13 - National

The Forest Service is issuing an open‑season RFQ (12024B23Q7001‑0002) to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements for ambulance services (ALS and BLS) and Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression and all‑hazard incidents. The solicitation will result in multiple agreements, each order limited to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and no order is guaranteed. Offerors—both existing contractors and new qualified vendors—must submit a single response that includes a technical quote for each resource item, meeting the original award criteria, Acceptability Pass/Fail standards, and the same evaluation factors as the original solicitation. Technical submittals are mandatory and must include at least seven photographs for ambulances (front, rear, left, right, VIN plate, current certificate/license, and 4‑wheel/All‑Wheel‑Drive capability if applicable) and two for EMRs (credential and medical‑director authorization). All equipment must comply with Exhibit M minimum requirements and any applicable state or local regulations; attributes such as 4‑WD are incident‑specific and do not affect award ranking. Proposed rates must cover labor, equipment, supplies, taxes, insurance, transportation, overhead, profit, and any other costs needed to meet the specified standards. The annual onboarding process, detailed in Exhibit H, allows existing awardees to add new resources during the CO’s annual review and permits new offerors to submit via the VIPR system, provided they meet the eligibility and technical requirements.
