Offers are being welcomed for the 2.5 acre site known as Jubilee House and bordering the M6 southbound carriageway in Beechdale which has housed a number of other NHS-related departments since the paramedics moved out about 13 years ago.
The site is being sold by NHS Property Services through commercial estate agents Fisher German.
NHS office staff employed by the Black Country Integrated Care Board, which is responsible for creating health service plans for the region including GPs, chemists and vaccines moved out of the premises last August.
Walsall Council previously said it hoped the land will be given a new lease of life in "retail, employment and residential".
The agents website states: "Originally constructed as an ambulance station, the building has more recently been utilised as offices.
"The site is considered to be an exciting development opportunity for a variety of uses, subject to appropriate planning consent being obtained. Alternatively the buildings could continue to be utilised for commercial purposes."
The emergency teams moved out following a multi-million pound shake-up of West Midlands Ambulance Service 12 years ago resulting in the replacement of about a dozen traditional stations by a maintenance ambulance base at Electrium Point in Ashmore Lake Way in Willenhall for 200 Black Country area staff.
A second hub is also based in Burton Road, Dudley.
