This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for non-emergent ground ambulance services for the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System in Southern California. The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a contractor to provide Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and Critical Care Transport (CCT) ambulance services from May 1, 2025, to September 30, 2029, with options to extend. The contract is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed-price arrangement with a minimum guaranteed amount of $10,000 and a maximum aggregate value of $21,522,154.50.

The solicitation covers ambulance transportation services for veterans in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, including transport to and from VA facilities, community-based outpatient clinics, residences, and local airports. The contractor must provide services 24/7, maintain qualified personnel with proper certifications, and meet specific response time requirements. Pricing includes base rates for different transport types (BLS, ALS, CCT), with additional charges for mileage, wait time, and special circumstances like bariatric transport. The procurement is set aside for small businesses, with a preference for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Proposals are due by March 31, 2025, at 3:00 pm PST, with an anticipated award date of May 1, 2025.

(c) Liquidated damages. If the Contractor or any of its agents fails to protect VA sensitive personal information or otherwise engages in conduct which results in a data breach, the

Contractor shall, in place of actual damages, pay to the Government liquidated damages of

Based on the results from VA’s determination that there was a data breach caused by Contractor’s or any of its agents’ failure to protect or otherwise engaging in conduct to cause a data breach of VA sensitive personal information, and as directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall be responsible for paying to the VA liquidated damages in the amount of [$37.50] per affected individual to cover the cost of the following:

(2) Credit monitoring reports.
