Reach Air Medical Services, LLC

Reach Air Medical Services, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Sacramento, California, provides emergency and non-emergency helicopter medical transport and air ambulance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations. The vendor operates 100 percent as a prime (54 awards, zero subcontract work) across federal prison systems, military installations, and other agencies, with no SBA certifications or minority-ownership designations present in the source.

Customer concentration is extreme and tilted toward the Bureau of Prisons. The top five funding agencies account for 100 percent of combined potential value, but the distribution is heavily skewed. The Federal Correctional Complex Victorville dominates by award count, representing 49 of 54 awards (91 percent) but only $3.5 million in combined potential value — that account consists almost entirely of single-mission purchase orders ranging from $70 thousand to $111 thousand. In sharp contrast, the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region anchors the dollar value: one definitive contract valued at $20.7 million for air medical transport ambulance services at Fort Hunter Liggett running through October 31, 2028. The Army Medical Command separately holds a $5.5 million contract for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services in Full Operational Condition, completed in November 2024. Together, Army accounts for roughly 88 percent of combined potential value across just two awards, while the Bureau of Prisons accounts for about 12 percent across 50 awards. The vendor also holds smaller awards from the Federal Correctional Complex Florence ($10 thousand), the Federal Correctional Institution Three Rivers ($34 thousand), and the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region ($66 thousand).

Recent activity remains steady. Awards averaged 4.8 per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with 2022 and 2024 at four and six awards respectively, and 2023 and 2025 at three and five. The most recent award (September 10, 2026, to Federal Correctional Complex Victorville for $85 thousand) falls within a recurring pattern of monthly Bureau of Prisons mission-based purchase orders for inmate medical transport. The vendor's core capability footprint centers on emergency helicopter medical services (30 awards under NAICS Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation) and ambulance services (23 awards under NAICS Ambulance Services), with 49 awards categorized under PSC Medical-Other. The large Army contracts broaden the scope to include full air ambulance fleet operations at military bases, but the Bureau of Prisons account — though numerous — remains transactional and mission-driven rather than platform-anchoring. Combined obligated dollars sit at $19 million against $29.8 million in combined potential value (64 percent obligation rate), with most Bureau of Prisons awards already completed at their award date, suggesting rapid mission execution.
