(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) CINCINNATI, Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS ) (“Workhorse” or“the Company”) , an American technology company focused on pioneering the transition to zero-emission commercial vehicles, today announced that it has been added to the GSA Schedule by being awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) government Fleet Contract through its dealer, Colonial Fleet Electrification. This milestone allows federal government agencies to streamline procurement of Workhorse's American-made electric commercial vehicles in the W56 platform, enhancing their access to reliable, efficient, transportation solutions from American companies.

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. This designation follows a comprehensive review of Workhorse's production capabilities, quality systems, testing and inspection processes, and 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.“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.”

Expanding Cooperative Purchasing Opportunities
Workhorse's addition to the GSA Schedule complements the Company's growing network of cooperative purchasing agreements, making its vehicles more accessible to public sector fleets across the United States. These partnerships include:

• Sourcewell: A nationwide cooperative purchasing program supporting municipalities, school districts, and non-profits.
• 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.
