U.S. Communities contract discounts specialized vehicles

Mobile vehicles like this health care van can be customized to a county's specifications under the new U.S. Communities contract with Farber Specialty Vehicles.

U.S. Communities gives counties access to specialized emergency and medical vehicles 

Specialized mobile units at discounted prices are now available through a new contract with Farber Specialty Vehicles awarded by U.S. Communities, NACo’s cooperative purchasing program.

Through the contract, counties will have access to a fleet of specialized vehicles ranging from police and fire command centers to medical, dental, mammography, audiology and health screening units. The contract also provides access to top-notch engineering and fabrication personnel who can custom design and produce a mobile vehicle to a county’s specs.

 The vehicles made by Farber address community health screening needs, police and emergency demands, even facility expansion for schools and libraries with the company’s mobile classrooms, STEM and computer labs, and book mobiles.

“Counties are responsible for so much within a community, and are often expected to do more each year with a smaller budget. Keeping citizens safe and informed, providing key county services, conducting preventative health screenings in multiple locations, and providing truly accessible educational technologies can be challenging. Farber is such a good fit for U.S. Communities because it provides innovative vehicles that counties can customize for use in all of those areas,” said Sharon Russell, senior program director, NACo FSC.

The contract was awarded by lead public agency, Port of Portland, Ore, through a competitive solicitation process that awards the contract to companies that can provide tangible solutions so counties can do more with less. Farber joins a group of more than 30 additional suppliers offering goods and services through the U.S. Communities program to help counties manage community needs.
