Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Excelsior Ambulance Service awarded multiple related CAVHCS ambulance transportation contracts under 36C24722D0021, including non-emergent ambulance services (with emergent ground ambulance transportation also referenced) for facilities in and around Tuskegee and Montgomery, Alabama. Prior awards include contract values of $16,859,018 (02/01/22–01/31/27) and related task orders/contracts such as $5,266,525 (02/01/26–01/31/27), which align with the current requirement for 24/7 emergent and non-emergent ambulance services and performance under a PWS. The scope and geographic coverage described in the prior work appear to be a continuation of the same CAVHCS ambulance transportation mission.
