FCAM 2027 Ambulances

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) is soliciting sealed bids to provide industry-standard compliant ambulances, vehicles, and associated equipment for members of the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts (FCAM). This solicitation, identified as FCAM 2027 Ambulances, seeks providers capable of delivering vehicles and equipment that support intensive life-support transit, emergency scene operations, and essential safety and communication functions. The contract is awarded to the lowest price among responsive and responsible bidders, with a focus on quality, durability, and adherence to specified technical standards. The resulting contract will run from the date of execution through June 30, 2027, with the possibility of five six-month extensions. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via CommBUYS by November 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST. Key requirements for a responsive bid include the submission of a detailed bid price form, a tariff pricing matrix, and various certifications, including non-collusion, tax compliance, and non-debarment. While MAPC manages the procurement process, the individual buyers are solely responsible for payment and have the option to inspect vehicles at either a local service facility or their own site prior to final acceptance.
