D.p. Murphy Ambulance Company

D.p. Murphy Ambulance Company, a Grayslake, Illinois-based self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation, provides non-emergency ambulance services including advanced life support, basic life support, and critical care transport to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract activity.

D.p. Murphy operates entirely under a single-customer relationship with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, a civilian division of the VA. The top five funding agencies encompass 67% of awards by count and 79% of combined potential value, but that concentration masks a far steeper customer dependency: VISN 12 accounts for 24 of 48 total awards ($15.9 million combined potential value), while all other VA activity totals eight awards of undisclosed individual value. This is a single-customer, single-location operation. D.p. Murphy has held an exclusive contract vehicle relationship with VISN 12 since August 2020, when the original indefinite delivery contract was established with a $5 million ceiling. The vendor has received annual or near-annual delivery orders under five parent IDCs, with 18 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract V69DP3501 (the primary vehicle) carrying $2 million combined potential value. Recent awards include a $709,691 delivery order through September 30, 2026, and a $159,931.60 delivery order through March 31, 2026, both for the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois.

Award frequency has stabilized at roughly one award per year since 2022, with three awards in 2026. Combined potential value across all 48 prime awards stands at $20.2 million, with $8.5 million obligated (42% of potential). Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing $710 thousand in recompete exposure. Across SCI-reportable service contracts from FY2023–FY2024, D.p. Murphy invoiced $2.2 million in federal ambulance-service revenue on 2.5 FTEs in FY2023 and 0.9 FTEs in FY2024—a partial view of its federal services activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI records ran median $387.72/hr, with the 10th percentile at $226.19/hr and the 90th percentile at $527.13/hr. The vendor does not use subcontractors; all delivery is company-owned labor. This is a narrow, stable, single-customer, single-location healthcare logistics operation with minimal diversification risk or growth trajectory outside the VA medical-transportation contract space.
