Opportunity Overview
Town of Windham, New Hampshire / Windham Fire Department is accepting sealed bids for a 2026 Fire Department Type I 4WD, F-550 Ambulance. The current detailed solicitation notice is published by the New Hampshire Municipal Association for the Town of Windham.
Deadline and Submission
Bids must be received no later than 2:00 PM on October 23, 2026 at Town Administration, Town of Windham, 4 North Lowell Road, Windham, NH 03087. The accessible notice does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope clearly marked WINDHAM FIRE DEPARTMENT 4WD AMBULANCE. Fax bids are not accepted, and late bids will not be accepted.
Bids will be publicly opened and read by the Fire Chief and publicly awarded at a Select Board meeting. Bids must remain valid for at least 120 days from the due date and may not be withdrawn during that period.
Procurement Structure
The Town seeks a single turnkey bid, but it may accept separate contracts for individual phases if one company oversees and accepts responsibility for implementation of the whole system. Vendors may submit multiple bids, each evaluated separately. The Town reserves broad rights to reject bids, waive informalities or irregularities, accept substitutions or exceptions, negotiate with the successful vendor, and otherwise act in the Town’s best interest.
Time is of the essence. The notice states that priority will be given to vendors willing to commit to the earliest ambulance delivery and/or agree to price reductions for delays.
Applicant-Relevant Value
No guaranteed contract value, award ceiling, or total procurement budget is stated in the accessible notice. Atlas does not substitute an estimate for an official amount.
Vendor Requirements and Bid Package Controls
The accessible notice establishes the sealed-bid mechanics, 120-day bid validity, turnkey preference, multiple-bid option, and delivery-priority terms. Atlas has not independently retrieved the linked full specification packet from the Town’s current public bid index, so vendors should confirm the complete official specifications, required forms, insurance terms, vehicle/chassis and module requirements, warranty terms, delivery schedule, exceptions process, and any addenda directly with the Town before bidding.

Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 64/100. This is a current New Hampshire EMS procurement with a defined public buyer, specific submission mechanics, and a healthcare/emergency-response asset, but the full technical bid packet is not independently retrieved in Atlas’s accessible source path.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The procurement is for a complete ambulance vehicle, not a remote physical-examination, telehealth, connected-diagnostics, or standalone clinical-technology acquisition.
Dr. Miltie / QC Healthcare: No Bid. Available records do not establish that Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare is an ambulance manufacturer, authorized ambulance dealer, vehicle reseller, or otherwise qualified to furnish the requested apparatus. No such qualifications are inferred.
