About this opportunity

The Department of the Army is seeking sources for an all-terrain vehicle to support range operations at Fort Hood Emergency Medical Services (FHEMS) through a Sources Sought Notice. The requirement is for a specialized all-terrain ambulance capable of off-road patient evacuation, featuring an 800cc 40HP liquid-cooled engine, 4x4 on-demand drive, fully enclosed cab with A/C and heat, and medical equipment platform with attendant seating and safety features. Key specifications include 1,275 lbs payload capacity, 14" ground clearance, 2,500 lbs towing capacity, LED emergency lighting, and synthetic rope winch capability. Interested small businesses must submit 5-page capabilities statements demonstrating previous experience, pricing information, small business certifications, and recommendations for improving specifications. The response deadline is August 14, 2025, at 1200 hours CST, with submissions required via email to the contracting officer.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, encouraging participation from all small business categories including 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns. The anticipated NAICS code is 621910 (Ambulance Services) with a size standard of $22.5 million, though no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in the notice. The requirement calls for a single all-terrain ambulance vehicle with specific dimensions of 120x65x79.5 inches, 3-passenger capacity, and top speed of 50 mph. No incumbent contractors are identified, and the Army emphasizes this is solely an information-gathering exercise that does not guarantee future contract award. The procurement addresses FHEMS's current operational limitation of having only standard ambulances without off-road capabilities for emergency medical response in challenging terrain conditions.
