How to Access the Contract

The GSA contract, GS-30F-RA005, is listed under Special Item Number (SIN) 493E, making Workhorse vehicles readily available for agencies with access to the GSAFleet.gov platform, the company noted in a news release.

This designation follows a comprehensive review of Workhorse’s production capabilities, quality systems, testing and inspection processes, as well as the manufacturing standards at the Company’s Union City, Indiana facility, known as the Workhorse Ranch.

“Securing a GSA contract is a major milestone that underscores our ability to meet the needs of government fleets with robust, reliable, and durable commercial electric vehicles while also reinforcing the strength of our company and products,” said Ryan Gaul, Workhorse President, Commercial Vehicles. 

Expanding Opportunities for Cooperative Purchasing

Workhorse’s addition to the GSA Schedule is part of the company’s growing network of cooperative purchasing agreements, making its vehicles more accessible to public sector fleets across the United States.

In addition to GSA, these partnerships include:

  • Florida Sheriff's Association Purchasing Program: Serving police departments and municipal fleets in Florida and across the United States.

  • OMNIA Partners: Offering vehicle procurement through Workhorse’s lending partner Doering Fleet Management.

  • PASSPort: The City of New York's end-to-end digital procurement platform, providing vehicles through Workhorse’s dealer Burr Truck.

“This contract empowers us to provide government agencies that may choose to purchase our products with the vehicles they need to achieve their operational goals through the purchase of our vehicles, which we proudly design and manufacture in the heartland of America, to achieve their operational goals," Gaul added.
