This document is a detailed Minimum Vehicle Requirements (MVR) specification sheet for Advanced Scout Vehicles (UTVs) for the U.S. Forest Service. The specification outlines precise requirements for a 5-seat fire utility terrain vehicle (UTV) to be used in wildland fire and off-highway operations, with a specific focus on safety, performance, and functionality. Key specifications include a minimum 970 CC engine (gasoline or diesel), five 3-point seatbelts, on-demand all-wheel drive, electric power steering, full skid plates, a front winch, 11 inches of ground clearance, and compliance with the Wildland Fire Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Standard from January 2022.

Vendors are required to provide a base model that most closely matches the detailed specifications, with no "up-sell" options permitted. The vehicles will be used for diverse purposes including scouting high-elevation areas, hauling personnel and cargo, performing wildland fire operations, patrolling OHV trails, and transporting materials in campgrounds.
