About this file
This is an Amendment/Modification (0002) to Solicitation 36C24426Q0463 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4 at Coatesville VAMC in Pennsylvania. The amendment publishes QA Set 2 and updates the Price Schedule to correct a previous error. The contracting officer is Cynthia Laemmerhirt.
The solicitation is for ambulance and wheelchair van transportation services for New Castle County and surrounding areas in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey for a five-year ordering period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The price schedule includes 19 line items covering Basic Life Support (BLS) transport (500 estimated units), Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport (500 units), Critical Care Transport (25 units), Specialty Care Transport (25 units), wait times (1,500 units), mileage beyond base rate (75,000 units for ambulance and 75,000 units for wheelchair), wheelchair van transport (1,150 units), wheelchair wait times (750 units), and various cancellation fees for all service types. All services are NAICS code 621910 (Ambulance Services) with product/service code V225 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation). QA Set 2 clarifies that the updated Price Schedule addresses wheelchair van pricing structure and confirms that VA pays only for loaded trips, with billing based on actual loaded transportation rather than pre-pickup travel time or wait periods.

QA Set 2
Q1. Historical Pricing Information Are you able to provide any historical pricing information, previous contract rates, or a pricing range from prior awards for this requirement? This information would help ensure we are interpreting the pricing schedule and quote requirements appropriately.
A1. This question was previously answered.
2. Price Schedule Clarification (Page 5, Section B.2) The pricing schedule appears to specify a flat rate for ambulance transportation that includes up to 12 miles and 30 minutes of wait time. However, we were unable to locate similar language for wheelchair van transportation.
Could you please clarify whether:
| • | The wheelchair van pricing is also intended to include a specified mileage and wait time allowance; or |
| • | The omission is intentional and wheelchair van services are to be priced differently? |
A2. Please notice an updated Price Schedule has been published and answers your question.
Q3. Invoicing Clarification (Page 51, Section 5.8) We would appreciate clarification regarding the point at which billable time begins.
For example:
| • | Driver departs the contractor’s facility at 7:00 AM. |
| • | Driver travels 10 miles to the Veteran’s residence. |
| • | Veteran is picked up at 7:30 AM. |
| • | Veteran is transported 7 miles and arrives at the appointment location at 7:45 AM. |
| • | A 30-minute wait period is provided. |
Based on Section 5.8 and the included wait time provision, should billing begin at the Veteran pickup time, appointment arrival time, completion of the included wait period, or another point defined by the solicitation?
A3. VA pays for loaded trips only. Please refer to Section 5 and the appropriate CLIN for additional information.
