Basic life support (BLS) emergency medical services (EMS)

The Department of the Army is procuring Basic Life Support (BLS) Emergency Medical Services for Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) Fire and Emergency Services Branch, including standby, emergency response, non-emergency response, patient treatment, and transport services. The contractor must provide two Pennsylvania-certified Emergency Medical Technician-Basics stationed on-site Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., along with a contractor-owned ground ambulance, with off-hours coverage ensured through mutual aid agreements. Key requirements include maintaining a 60-second turnout time and 240-second travel time during regular duty hours, assisting with Public Access Defibrillation and Stop the Bleed programs, and providing standby services for special events. Performance will be evaluated based on achieving emergency response standards at the 90th percentile through 100% inspection of monthly reports, periodic review of training files and credentials, and daily monitoring of on-site resources, with tracking through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The proposal due date is January 30, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., with site visits scheduled for January 21, 2026, and questions due six calendar days prior to proposal submission.

This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designation, though offerors must meet a minimum 2% small business participation requirement of total contract value. The solicitation is structured as a hybrid firm fixed price and time and materials service contract under NAICS code 621910 (Ambulance Services), with a base year and four potential one-year option periods. Large businesses subcontracting with small businesses must submit a subcontracting plan due to the anticipated award exceeding $900,000. The contract requires comprehensive technical proposals including detailed staffing plans with one-month shift schedules, drug-testing program policies, mutual aid agreement strategies, cost methodologies, and descriptions of medical interventions at specified service levels. The work will be performed at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania 18466, with the contracting officer Jennifer A. Cannon and Contract Specialist Deborah Belak serving as primary government contacts.
