UNSPSC 78111815: Medical evacuation by ambulance

Medical evacuation, often shortened to medevac or medivac,is the timely and efficient movement and en route care provided by medical personnel to wounded being evacuated from a battlefield, to injured patients being evacuated from the scene of an accident to receiving medical facilities, or to patients at a rural hospital requiring urgent care at a better-equipped facility using medically equipped ground vehicles (ambulances).

UNSPSC 78111815 Medical evacuation by ambulance, a Commodity code, encompasses state and local procurement of specialized transport services for critically ill and injured patients requiring advanced life support care during interfacility or emergency transport. Recent solicitations show demand spanning EMS staffing at detention facilities, hospital-based critical-care transport partnerships, ambulance billing and revenue cycle management, and event-site emergency medical coverage. The code reflects a mix of core ambulance transport operations and the administrative, personnel, and technology services that support them — from frontline EMS crews and paramedic staffing through revenue recovery infrastructure and dispatch systems. Issuing bodies include counties (Boulder County, Colorado; Bernalillo County, New Mexico; Harris County, Texas), cities (Atlanta, San Antonio), special-purpose districts and authorities (University Medical Center of El Paso, UTSA), fire departments, and state agencies (Oregon State Police) seeking medical surveillance for EMS personnel. The bulk of recent activity centers on EMS personnel staffing, specialized transport partnerships, billing operations, and occupational health services for EMS workers rather than procurement of ambulance units themselves.

Activity spans Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon, with notable recent concentration in Texas (University Medical Center of El Paso seeking critical-care transport partnerships, City of San Antonio soliciting Alamodome emergency medical coverage, Harris County Juvenile Probation seeking specialty medical services) and Georgia (City of Atlanta pursuing EMS revenue billing services and fleet maintenance for seven Advanced Life Support units). Representative recent solicitations include University Medical Center of El Paso's RFP (due October 27, 2026) seeking an EMS partner for ECMO retrieval and specialty critical-care transport across El Paso County, West Texas, and Southeastern New Mexico; Boulder County Sheriff's Office RFP (due October 26, 2026) for 24/7 EMT staffing at the county jail with four assigned positions; City of Atlanta's competitive sealed bid for EMS revenue billing and collection services supporting 1,600 annual patient ground transports (due September 4, 2026); and City of San Antonio's RFP (due September 24, 2026) for emergency medical services at the Alamodome with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for August 20, 2026.
