About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a federal contract opportunity involving a full electric UTV with medical/EMS capabilities.
The Government requires a full electric UTV with a minimum seating capacity of 3 seats after installation of the upfitter/medical deck. The vehicle must include an upfitter deck/platform and mounting/retention system capable of transporting a stokes basket or longboard (approximately 72" x 18"), though the Government will supply the actual basket or longboard. A utility box with minimum dimensions of 30" x 18" x 18" is required as part of the upfitter package. The vehicle must feature DOT road-legal components and straps with tie-down points rated for a minimum of 500 lbs. to secure the medical equipment. The speed range requirement is 5-17 mph minimum, though vehicles exceeding 17 mph are acceptable without requiring a governor. Manufacturer documentation demonstrating equivalent motor performance is acceptable if published in kW and torque rather than the specified "ft-lbs rated @ 1450 rpm" format.

1. Is it acceptable that the final configuration (after the upfitter/medical deck is installed) will have a usable seating capacity of approximately 2–3 seats?
a. Yes, a minimum of 3 seats will be acceptable.
2. We are interpreting “EMS bed included” to mean the vehicle must include the upfitter deck/platform and mounting/retention system to transport a stokes basket or longboard, and that the Government will supply their own stokes basket/longboard. Please confirm this interpretation is correct. If the Government requires the actual stokes basket/longboard to be included with delivery, please specify the required type/brand/model.
