Description
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is seeking a contractor to provide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) distance‑learning and related in‑person skills validation for EMS personnel across the United States. The contract will cover initial certification, recertification, and continuing‑education training for various EMS disciplines (EMR, EMT, AEMT, Paramedic). Training requests will be submitted by individual EMS organizations, reviewed and approved by the government, and then scheduled by the contractor.

Travel costs are not anticipated, and the contractor must be able to deliver both virtual instruction and, when required, on‑site one‑on‑one skills validation. No fixed number of trainees is provided; the contractor must be prepared for variable demand.

• Deliver distance‑learning modules for initial certification (≈16‑45 weeks depending on level) and recertification/continuing education.
• Conduct on‑site, one‑on‑one skills validation when requested (travel not budgeted).
• Manage training requests, coordinate with IHS points of contact, and invoice on a firm‑fixed‑price (FFP) basis.
• Contract length: 12‑month base period + up to two option periods (12 months + 6 months).
