The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 2 has awarded a series of firm-fixed-price delivery orders under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Citywide Mobile Response Corp, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in the Bronx, New York. The IDC, valued at $4.417 million, covers the provision of emergency and non-emergency ambulance services, including basic life support (BLS), advanced life support (ALS), and specialty care transport, to support VA medical centers and community-based outpatient clinics in the New York City and Bronx areas. Citywide Mobile Response Corp has a consistent track record of securing federal contracts to provide these services to VHA VISN 2. The three delivery orders awarded to date, valued at $1.5 million, $1.4 million, and $1.7 million respectively, will ensure timely access to care for eligible veterans through 24/7 ambulance presence across the region. While the majority of these awards are not set aside, Citywide Mobile Response Corp's status as a minority-owned and small disadvantaged business has aided in securing some of the contract opportunities.
The original federal contract opportunity, a pre-solicitation for 24-hour ambulance services to transport eligible VA beneficiaries in the New York Harbor Healthcare System and associated community-based outpatient clinics, was set aside for small businesses. This aligns with the small business set-aside used for the $4.4 million IDC contract awarded to Citywide Mobile Response Corp, demonstrating the VA's efforts to leverage qualified small and disadvantaged businesses to deliver critical medical transportation services for veterans in the New York City metropolitan area.
