About this opportunity

The Indian Health Service is seeking Emergency Medical Technician services for the Fort Belknap Service Unit located in Harlem, Montana, through solicitation 75H709-FB25Q-006. The procurement requires two full-time equivalent EMT providers (Basic EMT, Advanced EMT, or Paramedic EMT) to provide pre-hospital emergency medical services and inter-facility patient transfers across the 1,014 square mile Fort Belknap Reservation area. Contractors must maintain unencumbered Montana EMT licenses, complete provider credentialing, pass background checks, and meet extensive health and immunization requirements while demonstrating cultural sensitivity when serving Native American patients. The evaluation will be based on technical factors including management capabilities, quality assurance, and customer service, along with past performance relevance and quality, and price reasonableness, with non-price factors approximately equal to price in importance. Following multiple amendments, the final deadline for proposal submission is 5:00 PM MST on August 25, 2025, with technical questions having been due August 12, 2025, and answers published August 18, 2025.

This procurement is set aside 100% for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises under the Buy Indian Act, with no current incumbent contractor identified. The contract structure includes a firm fixed-price base period of twelve months starting August 25, 2025, through August 24, 2026, followed by four optional twelve-month extension periods that could extend the contract through August 24, 2030. Each contract period requires 4,638 hours of EMT paramedic services annually, with EMTs working 12-hour shifts typically followed by 12 hours on-call to provide 365-day coverage. The contract falls under NAICS code 561320 (Temporary Help Services) with a small business size standard of $35 million, and services will be performed primarily on the 70,000-acre Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana. The government will provide ambulances, medical equipment, and certain personal protective equipment, while contractors are responsible for personal medical instruments and uniforms.
