Manteca District Volunteer Ambulance Service

Manteca District Volunteer Ambulance Service, doing business as Manteca Ambulance Service, provides advanced and basic life support ambulance services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of its federal footprint), operating on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis across wildland fire response and all-hazard incident operations in California and Oregon.

Manteca Ambulance Service is a tax-exempt California nonprofit headquartered in Manteca. The organization does not subcontract and competes exclusively under open competition with no set-aside designations. Its capability portfolio centers on emergency medical transportation and life support services for federal fire suppression and forestry management operations, anchored by two USDA Forest Service IDIQs: a $250,000 ceiling contract awarded June 12, 2023, through the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (VIPR-system multiple-award vehicle running through June 2028), and a $750,000 ceiling contract awarded February 6, 2026, also through the National Interagency Fire Center for Region 13 operations (covering the Pacific Southwest and Pacific Northwest regions through June 2028). Recent representative work includes a $250,179.51 delivery order from the Pacific Southwest Region for emergency medical transportation at Clovis, California (August 2025), a $160,500 delivery order from the same region for fire response ambulance services (July 2023), and a $77,088.73 delivery order from the Pacific Northwest Region for services in Baker City, Oregon (August 2026). The vendor also delivered a $22,200 purchase order to procure a utility terrain vehicle for Stanislaus National Forest fire suppression operations (November 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (R5) accounts for 11 of 16 awards and $1.1 million of the $2.2 million combined potential value, with the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchoring two awards worth $1 million and the Pacific Northwest Region (R6) contributing 2 awards valued at $157 thousand. All sixteen awards remain within USDA Forest Service.

Manteca Ambulance Service places nearly all work under two parent USDA IDIQs: the June 2023 VIPR I-BPA generated 9 task orders totaling $826 thousand in combined potential value, and the February 2026 Region 13 IDC generated 2 task orders worth $82 thousand. Award activity peaked in 2023 with 7 orders, then declined to 3 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 3 in 2026; combined obligated dollars stand at $1.2 million against $2.2 million in combined potential value (55% obligation rate). No recompete cliff is imminent — the June 2028 IDC completion date frames the vendor's principal funding vehicle duration.
