2024 Star of Life Ambulances

The General Services Administration (GSA) is managing the 2024 Star of Life Ambulance Program under Solicitation 47QMCA23R0076 to facilitate the procurement of next-model-year ambulances through the GSAFleet.gov platform, with an open season period scheduled for 2026. Existing contractors are invited to update information on awarded line items, while new vendors may propose additional ambulance models, provided they meet federal standards and purchase specifications outlined on GSAFleet.gov. The program operates on a multi-round open season timeline beginning with vendor pre-bid intentions and comments from May 4 to June 5, 2026, followed by three rounds of bidding concluding October 30, 2026, with ordering capability opening December 3, 2026. A mandatory virtual industry day on May 19, 2026, will provide guidance on the process, and all participants must register via the GSAFleet.gov portal, requiring formal account creation initiated by GSA through the submission of the Vendor Company Request Form and User Account Request Form. The contracting office is located in Washington, DC, with Angela Romano and George Anderson serving as primary points of contact. While the solicitation does not specify contract type, evaluation factors, pricing details, or payment terms, participation is contingent on compliance with federal standards and the use of a Unique Entity Identifier for vendor registration. Delivery locations and FOB terms are not defined, and inspection criteria rely on adherence to GSAFleet.gov specifications without explicit technical standards cited. The program does not require small business status or socioeconomic certifications to be declared within the solicitation documents, as these are presumed to be validated through SAM.gov. No contract clauses, packaging requirements, or special conditions such as OCI or security clearances are disclosed, and award is expected to be based on the successful registration and qualification of ambulance models during the open season periods. The response deadline for all submissions is December 31, 2026.
