About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Academy is conducting a pre-solicitation notice and request for information (SS/RFI) for ambulance services at its Colorado Springs, Colorado location. The Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Academy seeks a contractor to provide continuous 24-hour emergency medical response and patient transport services, including EMT and paramedic resources, across designated areas including the Flight Line, Cadet Area, Community Center, housing districts, and portions of the I-25 Corridor. Key requirements include maintaining a minimum of three dedicated ambulances with specific positioning strategies, meeting maximum response times of 12 minutes for USAFA emergencies and 14 minutes for the I-25 corridor, and ensuring all paramedics maintain State of Colorado certification along with current BLS/ACLS certifications and flight line driving certifications where applicable. Respondents to the SS/RFI should provide their Unique Entity Identification, CAGE Code, SAM registration status, past performance on similar ambulance service contracts with corresponding federal contract numbers, and comments regarding the draft Performance Work Statement. The deadline for submitting responses to this sources sought inquiry is April 6, 2026, though this is an information-gathering effort only and does not constitute a formal solicitation; no proposals or quotes should be submitted at this time.
This pre-solicitation notice involves no set-aside designations and does not identify any incumbent contractor or current service provider. The anticipated contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement with a one-year base period followed by four one-year option periods, with performance expected to commence in March 2027, subject to change. The NAICS code 621910 applies with a size standard of $22,500,000, though a specific award value or budget ceiling is not disclosed in this sources sought notice. The contractor will be required to supply all personnel, equipment, supplies, and facilities except for government-furnished items including two ambulance housing structures, four military radios, and training resources. A 30-calendar-day phase-in period is mandated following contract award, during which the contractor must obtain base access, complete required training, secure insurance coverage, and staff all personnel positions, with designated key personnel including a Contract Manager and Medical Director to be named within five days of the phase-in commencement.

The Government requests interested parties submit a brief description of their company's information, anticipated teaming arrangements (if any), and a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers. All interested vendors shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities, indicating examples of commercial services related to this effort.
