About this opportunity
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction is soliciting proposals for ambulance transportation services to support inmate medical needs under contract DRC270054-SOCF, with proposals due August 12, 2026.
The contractor must provide emergency medical transportation within a response time of fifteen minutes or less, measured from initial dispatch call to unit arrival on location as maintained by the institution. The scope encompasses all emergency and non-emergency hospital trips within the local area, including transports to The Ohio State University Medical Center and Corrections Medical Center, with all disposables, basic life support (BLS), and advanced life support (ALS) services included. The institution will rely exclusively on the contractor for all inmate medical transportation requirements.
If the contractor cannot meet the fifteen-minute response time requirement, the contractor must document the call information, arrange for an alternative ambulance service to respond, and reimburse the institution at the contracted rate while directly compensating the substitute service provider. The institution incurs no additional liability or cost for services rendered by third-party providers when the primary contractor fails to respond within the acceptable timeframe.
Pricing is structured as separate line-item costs for BLS and ALS services for local hospital trips and distinct line-item costs for BLS and ALS services for transportation to The Ohio State University Medical Center or Corrections Medical Center. Bidders must submit rates for each service category and destination type through the Ohio Buys procurement system.
No contract term length, renewal options, estimated value, incumbent contractor status, pre-bid meeting date, or question deadline is identified in the available source materials.

ODRC is seeking proposals to identify a vendor to provide the items listed below in the quantities identified in Ohio Buys. i) The Contractor must ensure that emergency medical transportation is provided within response time of fifteen minutes or less as location allows. This is measured from the time of the initial call into dispatch until the unit marks as being on location, as maintained by the Institution. The Institution(s) will only need to call the Contractor for all inmate medical transportation needs. If at any time the Contractor cannot provide emergency transportation within an acceptable time frame, the Contractor agrees to:
- Document the information provided as if the Contractor were performing the "emergency" response.
- Call another ambulance service that can provide the same level of service to respond to the emergency and transport to hospital.
- Bill the Institution(s) the amount indicated in this Agreement and pay the agency that performed the service for the Contractor. The Institution(s) will not reimburse any other agency for providing the service, providing the Contractor had the opportunity to run the call per the provisions of this contract.
All emergency/non-emergency trips to hospitals within the local area, including all disposables and basic and advanced life support services.
