The State of California, through the EASR (Emergency and Security Response) program, is soliciting competitive bids for the procurement of Type II ambulances under Asset 501-26108, designated as specification S7WTI-4072. This Request for Bids (RFB-IS-26200560) seeks qualified vendors to supply ambulance vehicles that meet Type II classification standards for emergency medical services and patient transport operations. The specifications document establishes comprehensive technical and operational requirements including vehicle dimensions, weight capacity, medical equipment configurations, safety features, engine specifications, transmission capabilities, and integrated medical equipment systems that must comply with applicable federal and state regulations governing emergency medical transport vehicles. Bidders must demonstrate full compliance with all specified technical criteria outlined in the reference sheet and specifications documentation, which serves as the evaluation basis for proposals. The solicitation was posted on February 12, 2026, with a bid due date of March 2, 2026, providing potential respondents with a submission window of approximately eighteen days to prepare and submit their proposals.

Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) status is a required consideration within this procurement, as evidenced by the inclusion of the CBE Form exhibit, suggesting that small and disadvantaged business participation may be prioritized or tracked throughout the bidding process. All bidders must submit the required documentation outlined in Appendix A, including bid declarations, vendor certifications, insurance requirements, and other compliance documentation necessary to meet California's state procurement standards. The solicitation framework establishes that award decisions will be based on multiple factors including price competitiveness, vehicle specifications compliance, delivery capability, and bidder qualifications, though specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed in the available solicitation materials. Successful vendors will be responsible for ensuring that delivered ambulances meet all technical specifications and performance standards established by the state throughout the contract term. No incumbent vendors, existing contractors, or technology integration requirements are identified in the available documentation, indicating this may represent either a new procurement initiative or standard competitive rebidding for ambulance supply and delivery services.
