Air EMS’s Questions Pertaining to Solicitation Number 36C25725R0078
1. Since the European Aero Medical Institute (EURAMI) has been added as an accreditation option, are international transports anticipated/authorized on this contract?
There will be no anticipated or authorized international transports. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be revised to align with this response.
2. Section 1.4.1 states "The contractor shall be enroute to provide transportation within one (1) hour of request from the VA facility.”
a. This timeframe is not feasible (or safe) for long-distance services due to flight planning requirements, including, but not limited to, aircraft refueling and weather checks. Prior contracts have stated a minimum of 2 hours.
The VA accepts a minimum of 2 hours. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be revised to align with this response.
b. Is it the VA’s intent to contract a dedicated aircraft and medical team?
No, it is not the intent to contract a dedicated aircraft, the intent is to move expeditiously during these urgent matters.
3. Section 1.12 estimates 96 one-way trips. This is a significant increase from prior years.
a. What is the reason for the increase? ELPVAHCS has approximately 26 Trips FY25.
therefore the estimated amount will reflect an average of 26 – 30 trips per year.
b. Can historical data on flight routing be provided? Yes.
4. Historically, many requests have been for transplant patients who are at home but need rapid transport to meet the timeline for the organ. Will those services still be authorized under this contract. These patients do not require ECG monitoring and are not considered critical care.
Yes, the described services will still be authorized under the contract. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be revised to align with this response.
5. What is the contract number of the incumbent, and if possible, the contract amount for the base and all optioned years exercised, please.
