About this opportunity
Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is seeking competitive sealed bids for a Type I Ambulance through Invitation for Bids (IFB) Number 121-02242025, targeting emergency vehicle operator training and EMS simulation programs in Rockingham County and Sea Breeze CDP, North Carolina. The procurement requires a specific 2025 Ford F450 chassis ambulance with a minimum 144" box length, fully compliant with Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) Ground Vehicle Standards version 3.0. Detailed technical specifications include comprehensive emergency lighting, interior configurations, safety features, and specialized equipment such as a 5.5 kW integral generator, multiple oxygen cylinder holders, stainless steel countertops, and advanced communication systems. Key procurement dates include bid issuance on March 17, 2025, with electronic bid submissions due by April 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, and an anticipated contract award on April 11, 2025, with a contract effective date of April 16, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive bid meeting all specified technical requirements, with a preference for North Carolina-based vendors who can demonstrate compliance with state purchasing regulations.
The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though vendors must be registered in North Carolina and comply with state procurement policies. Electronic bid submissions must be completed through the Electronic Vendor Portal (eVP) and include mandatory attachments such as pricing forms, HUB participation documentation, customer references, and financial condition certifications. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement allows for potential award to a single vendor or separate awards for line items. Vendors must meet comprehensive qualifications, including CAAS GVS v3.0 ambulance unit compliance and ability to provide a vehicle with all specified technical features. The ambulance will be used for educational purposes, necessitating a high-quality, fully-equipped vehicle that can support realistic training scenarios for student emergency medical service responses and patient care transportation.
