The Virginia Office of EMS no longer offers a state contract for Type I, Type II and III ambulances.
However, the Virginia Office of EMS and the Transportation Committee of the state EMS Advisory Board feel it is important to provide guidance and information to EMS agencies that are considering purchasing a new or replacement ambulance for their emergency fleet.

If you have an interest in reviewing EMS vehicle specifications for functional adequacy and safety to ensure design features contribute to the efficiency of the unit and facilitate good patient care or would like to comment on medical equipment and supply requirements for permitted EMS Vehicles in Virginia, please consider attending a quarterly meeting of the state EMS Transportation committee. Meeting dates, time and location can be found on the OEMS Web site on the "Calendar of Events" page, state EMS Advisory Board and Committees.
