Item Two provides an option to purchase up to an additional eight (8) units under the same specifications with an extended delivery timeline of up to 120 days, exercisable within six (6) months of contract award. All vehicles must meet stringent technical specifications including a 3-cylinder liquid-cooled 23HP diesel engine or larger, 4x4 drive capability, and a fully enclosed, fluid-cooled Variable Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)—with explicit rejection of belt-driven Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) due to thermal failure risks in sustained flightline operations. Additional mandatory features include a digital display meter, fully sealed automotive-grade cabin with tempered safety glass windows, factory-installed OEM lighting and signaling components, OSHA 29 CFR 1928.51 and SAE J2194 certified ROPS and cab structure, integrated HVAC system, and heavy-duty steel cargo bed with hydraulic dump capability providing minimum 1,100 lbs bed cargo capacity and 1,300 lbs towing capacity.
