About this file

This document is a Salient Characteristics file for a specialized snow machine procurement by the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces. The solicitation requires 5 units of a 2026 Ski-DOO EXP extreme 850 ET ADTA WIDE TRACK snow machine (or equivalent) in black, with specific tactical and operational enhancements. Required accessories include a comprehensive set of 17 specific components such as a blackout kit with two-stage tactical light control, extra belts, trailering cover, oversized windshield, rewind starter, heated passenger seat, full body skid plate, multiple hitching options, luggage rack, bumpers, fuel storage kit, electric winch, and waterproof storage box.

The snow machine must be capable of operating in extreme cold weather conditions, supporting multi-day missions in challenging terrain with no consistent power access. Key operational requirements include wide track capability for deep snow movement, multi-passenger travel, trailer pulling, pull-start functionality, and the ability to carry two members with associated gear. The blackout kit is explicitly emphasized as a mandatory attachment, enabling complete external lighting shutdown for low-visibility operations. The procurement is specifically for tactical and extreme environment mobility, with each machine requiring a robust set of performance and protective accessories to support mission-critical operations.
