Justification_Other Than Full and Open - NREMT Vouchers_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI).

The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) through the 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at the Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC) is awarding a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order on a sole source basis to the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, Inc. (NREMT, Cage Code 1AZ62). The contract covers Emergency Medical Response (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT), and Nationally Registered Paramedic (NRP) recertification vouchers totaling 6,400 vouchers to support the Department of the Air Force Fire & Emergency Services (EMS) program. Specific quantities include 2,500 EMR recertification vouchers, 3,500 EMT recertification vouchers, 200 AEMT recertification vouchers, and 200 NRP recertification vouchers. The total acquisition value is redacted but the document indicates Air Force Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funds (3400) will be used for the purchase. The sole source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that only one responsible source exists. NREMT is the sole national certifying credential for Emergency Responders and mandatory prerequisite for state licensure in all 50 states, making it the essential requirement for Air Force personnel to legally perform their duties. No other sources are authorized to provide NREMT products, as confirmed by NREMT's statement dated March 20, 2026 clarifying they do not authorize third-party resellers. The contracting officer certified the justification as accurate and complete on April 7, 2026.
