This document outlines clarifications for a Department of Defense (DoD) procurement, likely for an electric utility terrain vehicle (UTV) with medical transport capabilities. Key specifications include a minimum of three usable seats and the integration of an upfitter deck/platform with a mounting and retention system for a stokes basket or longboard, though the actual basket/longboard is not required. A utility box with minimum dimensions of 30"x18"x18" is mandatory. Straps and tie-down points rated for at least 500 lbs are required for securing medical equipment. The vehicle must be full electric and equipped with DOT road-legal components. While a minimum speed range of 5-17 mph is specified, exceeding 17 mph is acceptable, and a governor is not required. Manufacturer documentation showing equivalent motor performance is acceptable if exact specifications are not available.
