My experiences with GSA says that you get 3 to 5 years of usng a vehicle they provided until its replaced, with exceptions for some very high mileage units.
The US Army had 'rear echelon maintenance'. Once or twice each individual truck would get the equivalent of a frame-off restoration. I was dismayed on return to civilian life, where resto-modding is a hobby.

The federal EV fleet conversion also includes the plan for building 550,000 charging stations. Followed up by a proposal to convert 500,000 school buses to clean electric power.
I just noticed this part. Buses exceed the 412,000 trucks. If the buses and chargers don't do Vehicle To Grid, that would be typical government work.
