The specification details comprehensive requirements for converting standard vehicles into fully operational law enforcement K9 transport units capable of supporting covert operations.

The upfit includes emergency lighting and siren systems utilizing Whelen components with a CenCom Core controller, horn ringer sequencer, and multiple LED light arrays (visor, grill, surface mount, and auxiliary working lights). The radio prep package provisions for a 100W Motorola APX 8500 radio with a covert tri-band antenna (138-174/406-520/760-870 MHz with GPS/Wi-Fi capability). Interior modifications include a Havis vehicle-specific center console with mounting for radio and siren controls, dual 12-volt power ports, USB ports, and terminal blocks with spare circuits. The K9 compartment features a custom aluminum canine platform with window guards, emergency escape door, spill-proof base pan, thermostat-controlled ventilation with automatic window operation, and remote pager alarm system. Additional equipment includes a Setina single T-rail weapon mount, cargo slide platform rated at 1,000 pounds capacity mounted on a Tuffy Security lockbox, suspension leveling kit, upgraded wheels and tires, window tinting, tactical seat covers, and fire extinguisher. All electrical systems must comply with SAE J1292 and OEM modifier guidelines, with detailed wiring diagrams and AS-certified technician requirements. The contractor is responsible for transportation of vehicles from Fort Benning, Georgia, comprehensive testing and inspection, delivery of operator, maintenance, and service manuals in electronic format, NTEA ULTRAMOD documentation, weight certification, and a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty covering parts and labor for CONUS repairs.
