Flex EMS implementation project

The Ohio Competitive Selection IDV (CSP905219-1) is a comprehensive Emergency Medical Services (EMS) implementation contract focused on supporting rural healthcare services across Ohio. The vehicle enables the procurement of critical EMS training, development, and support services, including monthly state agency correspondence, in-person training for rural EMS agencies, paramedic refresher courses, continuing education webinars, targeted surveys, regional meetings, and statewide EMS assessments. Specific services range from individual training courses to broader community-level evaluations, with deliverables priced between $275 and $52,650.

The contract is awarded to The Paramedic Foundation, based in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and is administered by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS). The IDV has a performance period from October 23, 2024, to August 31, 2026, with a competitive selection contract type covering the entire state of Ohio. A notable feature of the contract is the recent addition of EMT training courses at $1,500 per course, with participants required to commit to serving a rural Ohio community for at least one year post-training. The contract operates on net 30-day payment terms and does not guarantee a specific purchase volume.
