EMS Air Medical Program

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive air medical services that encompass critical care medical interventions in prehospital and interfacility settings.

The solicitation, posted on December 6, 2024, with a deadline for responses on January 6, 2025, is managed by Escambia Purchasing under the NAICS code 921120, indicating government or public safety-related services. Interested firms are encouraged to submit proposals following the provided instructions, with the selected provider expected to deliver expedited transport solutions that enhance patient care and safety.
