The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VA - VHA) has awarded multiple firm fixed price contracts and delivery orders to Northeast Mobile Health Services, a for-profit organization, to provide advanced life support (ALS), basic life support (BLS), and specialty care transport (SCT) ambulance services in support of the VA Maine Health Care System. These contracts, valued at over $9 million total, fund the provision of critical medical transportation services for veterans receiving care at VA facilities in Maine, including the Togus VA Medical Center and other community hospitals across the state. The contracts, which have no set-aside designations, cover a period of performance through May 2026 and will serve an estimated 1,500-2,000 trip requests per year. Northeast Mobile Health Services is the prime contractor responsible for delivering these emergency and non-emergency medical transport services to VA patients in the region.
The original solicitation was a sources sought announcement from the VA Contracting Office seeking qualified providers of BLS/ALS/CCT ambulance services to support the VA Maine Healthcare System. The announcement outlined the VA's requirement for statewide transportation coverage, including trips to and from VA facilities in Maine as well as those in neighboring states. The VA noted the challenges of providing services in Maine's vast rural areas and sought responses from interested small business, non-profit, and large business concerns capable of leveraging partnerships to deliver high-quality transportation for veteran patients.
