Last week the National Guard Bureau awarded Polaris a contract to supply Ultra-Light Utility Vehicles to the Army National Guard.  The five-year contract is topped at $67 million and includes vehicles as well as accessories and training.  The Ranger Crew 800 and Polaris Ranger 6×6 800 produced in their Spirit Lake, Iowa facility will be the vehicles of choice.

I contacted the National Guard Bureau to find out some more contract specifics.  They do not have an estimate on the number of vehicles that will be purchased but noted that it would depend on government funding and mission requirements.  They added that the contract includes pricing for different configurations of the vehicles such as the inclusion of a hard or soft top, track kits, plows, and other components.  Long-term servicing is not part of the agreement.  The contract demonstrates continued success by Polaris as they target the military market as a key growth opportunity for the company.
