About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is soliciting proposals for Non-Emergent Medical Transportation (NEMT) Services for the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System (SAVAHCS). The procurement requires the contractor to provide door-to-door wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory transportation services for veterans 24/7 across multiple counties in Southern Arizona, including scheduled and unscheduled trips to medical appointments, hospital discharges, and other healthcare-related destinations. Key contract requirements include maintaining a fleet of vehicles meeting specific safety and accessibility standards, employing qualified drivers, providing an on-site Transportation Coordinator, utilizing the VetRide Vendor Portal for trip management, and maintaining compliance with HIPAA regulations. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical capability and past performance as significantly more important than price, with awards based on these three factors collectively. Critical deadlines include a site visit on November 10, 2025, vendor inquiries due by December 1, 2025 at 12:00 PM MT, and all proposals due by December 3, 2025 at 10:00 AM MT via email to Contract Specialist Katharine Robert.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, limiting competition to qualified SDVOSB entities. The contract is structured as a Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity agreement with a base year plus four option years, covering the period from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030. The estimated annual transportation volumes include approximately 49,632 ambulatory single-rider trips, 23,760 wheelchair single-person transports, and 755 stretcher transports, with the NAICS code 485991 carrying a small business size standard of $19.0 million. The place of performance is Tucson, Arizona 85723, serving the SAVAHCS catchment area across Southern Arizona counties. Multiple transportation companies attended the November 10, 2025 site visit, including Patient Transport, IMBSERV, AmeriGuard, GovTranz National, and others, indicating significant competitive interest in this opportunity.
