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 (Commodity) covers emergency ground ambulance services and related medical transport operations that state and local governments procure to serve defined geographic areas and populations. Recent opportunities show jurisdictions soliciting contracts for full-time 24/7 Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance response, standby EMS coverage at specific venues, medical direction and clinical oversight, revenue cycle management for EMS operations, occupational health and medical surveillance for public employees, and emergency medical services at educational institutions. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Richland County Wisconsin, Dade County Georgia, Walker County Georgia, Clinch County Georgia, Collier County Florida), city governments (Detroit, McKinney Texas, Santa Monica California, Atlanta), school districts (Maricopa County Community College District, Bibb County Public Schools Georgia), transit and special-purpose authorities, and state agencies (Oregon State Police). Counties represent the largest share of recent activity, particularly in Georgia and the Southeast, with smaller populations (6,749 to 69,761) seeking dedicated contractors for unincorporated service areas alongside municipal jurisdictions within their boundaries.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, California, and Arizona, with recent activity spanning February through June 2026. Representative solicitations include Richland County Wisconsin's RFP (due May 11, 2026) for full-time 24/7 ALS ambulance services covering 60 percent of the county serving 17,220 residents with approximately 1,350 annual calls; Walker County Georgia's RFP (due March 31, 2026) seeking ALS ambulance services across 447 square miles and 69,761 residents handling 9,200 calls annually with response-time performance penalties; the City of Detroit's RFP (due May 6, 2026) for standby ALS ambulance coverage at three casino locations requiring four- to six-minute response times with Detroit local-business equalization credits of 1 to 5 percent; and the City of Atlanta's RFQ (due May 29, 2026) for EMS vehicle repairs and maintenance services covering International Braun ambulances, Ford Transit ambulances, and specialized equipment requiring 24/7 emergency support and factory-authorized technician qualifications. Contracts typically specify three- to five-year initial terms with renewal options, service-level penalties ranging from $2,500 to $30,000 monthly for response-time failures, and insurance minimums of $1 million to $5 million depending on scope. The Commodity shows active procurement across multiple operational models: full-service provision with contractor-owned or County-provided vehicles, medical direction and clinical oversight, billing and revenue cycle management, occupational health support, and equipment repair and maintenance.
