摘要

This report is the result of emphasis on procuring commercial items in lieu of Military Adaptation of Commercial Items (MACI). Four major manufacturers of commercial warehouse tractors were surveyed to determine their candidate models for Army and commercial use. This report presents the methodology, results, and conclusions of evaluating the established commercial market acceptability of these tractors. Commercial users of the tractors were visited by a Survey Team using a User Survey Questionnaire designed to obtain the data required. The results are discussed and commercial warehouse tractors are compared for variance with the requirements of the existing MACI specification for warehouse tractors. The Survey results support this general conclusion: The Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) characteristics of the commercial warehouse tractors surveyed are acceptable to their commercial users.
