About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, is seeking to procure air ambulance broker services through the award of five Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide scheduled VA-initiated air ambulance transportation for eligible VA beneficiaries nationwide. The solicitation requires contractors to serve as brokers who can leverage multiple air ambulance assets and provide 24/7 service including holidays, with minimum staffing of two licensed medical personnel providing direct patient care during transport. Contractors must meet specific response time requirements of 60 minutes for on-demand services and 90 minutes for standard services, utilize the VetRide Vendor Portal or VA-Initiated Transportation Software for ordering and invoicing, and comply with various operational, security, and infection control requirements. The contracts will use firm fixed price structure with base rates plus mileage pricing for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft services. However, Amendment 0004 cancelled the entire RFP (36C26024R0088) due to a change in agency requirements, though a new solicitation may be issued in the future.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation). The solicitation established five geographic service regions with significant contract ceiling amounts: Pacific ($375 million), West ($490 million), Central ($440 million), East ($425 million), and Caribbean ($500 million), totaling $2.23 billion across all regions. Each IDIQ contract includes a minimum guarantee of $17,500 and covers a five-year period of performance with one base year and four one-year option periods. The contracts are structured to allow offerors to submit proposals for one or more of the five defined service area regions. The place of performance is Vancouver, Washington, though the air ambulance services will be provided nationwide to serve VA beneficiaries requiring advanced life support or critical care transport.
