QandA Polaris Ranger Crew XD 1500.docx

This file is a Questions and Answers document for Solicitation FA857126Q0051 related to the procurement of Polaris Ranger vehicles for Robins Air Force Base. A potential bidder inquired about the availability of 2025 Polaris Ranger Crew XD 1500 NorthStar Edition Premium units in Titanium Metallic, reporting difficulty sourcing the three required units after contacting over 45 dealerships nationwide. The bidder noted that Polaris has largely phased out 2025 model year inventory as production has shifted to 2026 and 2027 models, with only two 2025 units reportedly available in the entire United States.

The government's response directed an update from the 2025 model year to the 2026 model year while maintaining all other specifications. The related solicitation was subsequently amended on 12 March 2026 to reflect this change. The RFQ requires three Polaris Ranger XD 1500 vehicles with 1498CC, 4-stroke, 110HP engines and automatic transmissions, along with required add-ons including a pintle hook, COTS manual, and warranty. The acquisition is set-aside for small business concerns, and the specification attachment must be met with no substitutions accepted. This solicitation was issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center.
