MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 30 (UPI)
The U.S. Army has tapped Polaris Industries Inc. to supply all-terrain vehicles to Afghan and Iraqi security forces, the U.S. government and others.
The three-year contract, which includes spare parts and trailers, is worth $54 million.
"As the leading supplier of military ultra-light mobility platforms, we provide our customers the most capable, high-performance ATVs," said Scott Wine, chief executive officer of Polaris Industries.
"For almost a decade, we have been working with military customers all over the world, integrating their unique needs with cost-effective mobility solutions.
"With more than 3,000 battle-proven vehicles deployed in theater, we have developed a strong understanding of our customers' requirements. This unique position, coupled with our world-class manufacturing operations, allows us to supply vehicles quickly to meet the urgent operational needs of this contract."
The contract follows Polaris's completion of a multi-year contract awarded by the Army in 2007. The company said the new three-year award features options for two additional years of work.
