UNSPSC 25101703: Ambulances

UNSPSC 25101703 Ambulances is a Commodity code covering the procurement of complete ambulance units by state and local government emergency services. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing concentrated on new ambulance purchases and remount conversions—modular patient compartments installed on new or existing chassis—to equip county EMS departments, fire departments, and airport rescue operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (DeSoto County, Mississippi; Putnam County and Evans County, Georgia; Effingham County, Georgia), city EMS and fire departments (Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, City of San Antonio), regional airport authorities (Augusta Regional Airport, Lee County Port Authority, Broward County Aviation Department), and special-purpose districts (Laredo College District). The code also captures related service work: Collier County's single-source procurement for factory-authorized parts, repair services, and software updates for Horton ambulances; the City of Atlanta's solicitation for comprehensive inspection, maintenance, diagnostic, repair, and emergency support services for a mixed EMS fleet including International Braun, Ford Transit, and Polaris vehicles; and Effingham County's request for Type I ambulance remount services on new chassis.

Geographically, recent activity spans the Southeast—Georgia (Worth County, Putnam County, Evans County, Brookhaven, Augusta), Florida (Collier County, Lee County Port Authority), Mississippi (DeSoto County)—and extends to Texas (San Antonio, Laredo College), with activity also recorded in Utah (cooperative procurement posting) and nationally through the Purchasing Cooperative of America and NASPO cooperative vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include DeSoto County's two-stage technical and reverse-auction procurement for one or more Emergency Medical Vehicles (due July 21, 2026, ITB format); Putnam County's sealed bid for a new Type I ambulance on a Dodge B4500 chassis and a separate remount ambulance (both due May 7, 2026, IFB format); the City of Atlanta's solicitation for EMS vehicle repair and maintenance services (due May 29, 2026, SOQ format); Laredo College District's RFP for one new Type III ambulance with power stretcher system and delivery by July 31, 2026 (due May 7, 2026); and Evans County's sealed bid for a new or remounted 2026 or 2027 Ford F-350 Type 1 Ambulance meeting KKK-A-1822F standards (due May 20, 2026). Most solicitations emphasize compliance with federal and industry standards (NFPA 1917, KKK-A-1822, KKK-A-1822-F) and require sealed bids or formal proposals with 90-day bid validity periods. Chattahoochee County and other jurisdictions encourage participation from local, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses but do not universally impose set-asides.
