The Huntington WV VAMC intends to award a 4-month firm-fixed-price contract to Jan-Care Ambulance of North Central W.VA., Inc. This will be a continuation of the current services that Jan-Care offers. The four-month contract will provide contractors and the government with the opportunity to prepare for a competitive solicitation for a long-term, five-year IDIQ contract.

The Hershel Williams Williams VA Medical Center (hereafter HWW VAMC), its associated Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), and affiliated healthcare clinics require contracted ambulance transportation services. The contractor shall provide all vehicles, personnel, management, supplies, equipment, and necessary reporting for the provision of Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), Specialty Care Transport (SCT) or Critical Care Transport (CCT) services.
