Non-Emergent Ambulance Service (PVAHCS)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VA VISN 22) is seeking a contractor to provide non-emergent ambulance services for the Phoenix VA Health Care System (PVAHCS). This pre-solicitation notice indicates the VA is conducting market research to understand potential vendor capabilities for transporting patients who do not require emergency medical intervention. The procurement falls under NAICS category 621910 for Ambulance Services, suggesting a focus on medical transportation logistics. The sources sought notice was posted on March 5, 2025, with responses due by March 14, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for potential vendors to express interest and demonstrate their qualifications. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available documents, typical VA contract assessments often include vendor experience, operational capacity, compliance with medical transportation standards, and cost-effectiveness.

This procurement does not appear to have a specific small business or service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside designation, which means all qualified vendors may compete. The contract scope suggests a comprehensive ambulance service requirement for non-emergency patient transportation, likely involving multiple vehicles and trained medical transport personnel. Without the full sources sought notice, precise details about potential contract value, expected service volume, or contract duration cannot be definitively stated. The solicitation is specifically focused on the Phoenix VA Healthcare System within VISN 22's geographic region, which covers parts of Arizona and potentially surrounding states. Interested vendors should carefully review the full sources sought notice and prepare detailed responses demonstrating their capability to meet the VA's non-emergent medical transportation needs.
