DHS/FEMA is unaware of any other sources capable of providing approach ramps for airlift of vehicles by the USAF that are ATTLA approved. However, any company capable of providing an equivalent level of service may submit a detailed capabilities statement in order to allow the Government to perform an evaluation of your proposed capabilities/qualifications.
