About the company
C.h.l. Ems, Inc., doing business as American Ambulance of Visalia, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering advanced and basic life support ambulance services and emergency medical responder capabilities to the federal government, primarily supporting wildland fire management and all-hazard incident response operations. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides on its underlying indefinite delivery contracts, though individual task orders drawn from those IDCs are frequently issued without set-aside designation. The company is headquartered in Visalia, California, and concentrates its work in PSC code J090 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression) and NAICS 621910 (Ambulance Services).
The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 88% of awards by count and 94% of combined potential value, anchored by the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (R5), which has issued 48 awards worth $4.5 million combined potential value. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (R6) represents the second-largest customer with 19 awards worth $1.1 million. The National Interagency Fire Center, which manages national contracts on behalf of Forest Service regions, has placed four awards worth $1.8 million combined potential value. The Forest Service's Intermountain Region (R4) and generic Forest Service funding lines round out the active customer set. The vendor holds no subcontract relationships and competes only as a prime contractor across all 102 federal awards in the source data.
C.h.l. Ems, Inc. holds four indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center and the USDA Forest Service, all structured as firm fixed price and set aside for total small business participation. Two contracts awarded February 6, 2026, carry ceilings of $500,000 and $750,000 respectively for emergency medical responder services and advanced/basic life support ambulance services under Region 13 national coverage, both running through 2028 and 2029. An earlier pair of contracts awarded May 29, 2024, and June 12, 2023, each carry $250,000 ceilings for emergency medical responder and ambulance services under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, respectively, also running through 2028 and 2029. Task orders against these IDCs dominate the portfolio: the February 6, 2026, $500,000 IDC has generated 47 task orders worth $5 million combined potential value; the $750,000 IDC has generated 32 task orders worth $995 thousand; and two earlier VIPR contracts have generated 9 and 7 task orders respectively worth $422 thousand and $601 thousand. Recent task order values range from $4,400 to $279,567, with firm fixed price pricing and ultimate completion dates extending through September 2026. Performance locations span California, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Washington.
Activity has accelerated significantly. The vendor recorded ten awards in 2023, expanded to 47 awards in 2024, contracted to 19 awards in 2025, and has already secured 26 awards through August 2026. Combined potential value across all 102 awards is $9 million, with $7.2 million (81%) already obligated. The vendor operates exclusively for federal agencies with no private-sector exposure, and all work flows through the Forest Service's established emergency response procurement channels. C.h.l. Ems, Inc. does not appear in any subcontractor role and maintains no identified major subcontractors on any award.
