Air Ambulance Broker - Notice of Future Solicitation
A. Background The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides Air Ambulance Services for authorized VHA beneficiaries across the United States. Currently, these services are provided through a variety of contracted and non-contracted means; Under 38 USC 111, VA can pay a vendor for special mode transportation provided to eligible veterans. On February 16, 2023, VA issued an amendment to 38 CFR Part 70 Subpart A (referred to as “AP89”) with an effective date of February 16, 2025. The amended rule establishes a new rate structure for special mode transportation services. As pertinent to this acquisition, for transport by air ambulance, the rule requires that in the absence of a contract, VA will pay to the ambulance provider the lesser of the actual charge of the transport or the amount determined by the Medicare Part B Ambulance Fee Schedule established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS).
To ensure continued air ambulance support for our Veterans, the VA seeks to deploy a national solution that includes one (1) to five (5) contract awards to small business air ambulance brokers with access to extensive air ambulance operator networks.
B. Next Steps VA will soon release the Request for Proposal (RFP) for one (1) to five (5) Air Ambulance brokers.
Interested offerors are encouraged to begin notionally building networks now. It is important that mature small businesses lay the foundation for successful responses as early as possible. To be considered, offerors must be fully mission capable, with expertise (capability and experience) in all areas.
