Ambulance & EMR Services

The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to recompete its nationwide contract for Ambulance and Emergency Medical Responder services under a forecasting notice with a planned solicitation in fiscal year 2033, following a five-year recurrence cycle. This contract will be awarded as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, designed to provide rapid, flexible emergency medical support across all national forests and grasslands in response to incidents such as wildfires, natural disasters, and other emergencies. The scope is national in scale, ensuring coverage across all states and territories under the Forest Service’s jurisdiction without geographic limitations. The solicitation will not specify a solicitation number at this stage and has been posted as a forecast on August 1, 2026, to provide industry ample time to prepare. No set-aside information, NAICS code, or specific office address is currently available, indicating that details will be finalized closer to the formal solicitation. The contracting activity falls under the Department of Agriculture, and all performance will occur wherever Forest Service incidents require on-site medical response. Interested vendors should monitor the official Forest Service website for the formal RFP release in 2033, as the I-BPA structure will allow for streamlined, on-demand task ordering during emergencies without the need for individual contract awards.
