Project Name:
Federal Vehicles Standards Guide
Market:
Federal Government
Project Description:
The General Services Administration publishes an annual Federal Vehicles Standards Guide. The purpose of this document is to achieve a practical degree of standardization in the Federal automotive fleet, yet be responsive to the wide range of commercial vehicles required to meet the needs of the various agencies. The standard does not include all varieties that are available, but is intended to cover only those generally used by the Federal Government. This standard establishes classifications for various types and sizes of vehicles, general requirements, and equipment options. 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 contractors’ representatives.
General Services Administration required project management and editorial services in preparing an updated version of the Federal Vehicles Standards Guide.
North American Management assisted the General Services Administration in preparing the publication, which included text, tables, charts, line drawings, and images. The publication contained an introduction, four main categories, and an eight-page color signature.
North American Management provided significant editorial and project management services towards the production of the 2002 Federal Vehicle Standards Guide. Support included collecting information into a master database, scanned federal standard requirements, developed master CD that search function, indexing and graphics, and replicated over 1,000 copies for use by industry leaders. Database files were created in Microsoft Word and converted to Access and PageMaker
