Federal Standards for Automobiles, Light Trucks, and Medium Trucks, 1989

摘要

The purpose of the document is to achieve a practical degree of standardization in the Federal automotive fleet, yet be responsive to the wide range of vehicles required to meet the needs of the various agencies. The standard does not include all varieties which are available, but is intended to cover only those generally used by the Federal Government. The standard establishes classifications for various types and sizes of vehicles, general requirements, and the equipment authorized for Government use. It is intended to facilitate the ordering of vehicles and their subsequent competitive, consolidated procurement. The use of these standards reduces the ordering and procurement lead time and permits a clear understanding of the requirements by ordering agents, contracting officers, quality assurance specialists, and contractor's representative.
