- Description
- The Department of Defense intends to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with several carriers for air ambulance service, beginning 1 October 2007 through 30 September 2012. There is no guarantee any service will be purchased by the Government. The BPAs will be for service within the NORTHCOM AOR (to include Alaska and near off-shore), within the SOUTHCOM AOR, between SOUTHCOM and NORTHCOM, between USAFE (to include Greenland) and the CONUS, and between PACAF and the CONUS. The air carrier and medical crew must be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS). Aircraft utilized shall be contractor-furnished, fixed-wing, jet aircraft, configured to air ambulance standards. An offer will not be considered unless the offeror is an air taxi operator within the meaning of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (19 USC 1301) as amended. To be awarded a BPA for this service, prospective offerors must satisfy all DOD Commercial Air Carrier Quality and Safety Requirements as described in 32 CFR, Part 861.3; however, non-DoD approved carriers may transport passengers for medical transport services under emergency conditions to save life, limb, or eyesight only when no DoD approved carrier is available to perform. The DOD Additional Standards for Contract Passenger Operations under FAR Part 135 apply and a copy is attached. These requirements exceed the FAA Part 135 standards in several areas. For additional information, contact HQ AMC/A3B at (618) 229-4801, or go to website http://www.amc.af.mil/library/businesscustomers.asp. Be advised that all interested parties must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) Database in order to receive a contract award. If you are not registered, you may request an application via 888-227-2423 or go to website https://www.bpn.gov/CCR/scripts/index.html. All responsible sources may submit a quote, which shall be considered by the agency.
