The National Guard Bureau has awarded Polaris Defense a five-year contract to provide “ultra-light” utility vehicles to the Army National Guard.
"We are excited to have our Polaris Ranger utility vehicles selected by the National Guard to help with their homeland security and disaster relief missions," Polaris CEO Scott Wine states in a press release. "We are proud that Polaris can provide a cost-effective and highly capable, all-terrain vehicle that can handle the critical missions faced by the National Guard."
The contract includes the Polaris Ranger Crew 800 and Polaris Ranger 6x6 800, as well as accessories and training. The competitively awarded contract has a ceiling value of $67.0 million over the contract period. Polaris intends to build the vehicles at its Spirit Lake, Iowa, facility, which has recently added over 270 full-time and seasonal jobs to meet the increase in consumer demand.
"Polaris Defense is dedicated to providing quality vehicles that can perform to the high standards of the U.S. military," states Mark McCormick, managing director of Polaris Defense. "This award underscores what our company can do in supplying great products, accessories and support to an outstanding customer like the National Guard."
