Any specialized government operation has its own unique requirements. Even the needs of military bases vary from one to the other, depending upon the its tactical and strategic purposes, geographical location and the units dependent upon it for support. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine and National Guard units within the U.S. and overseas lease vehicles for both immediate and long-term success.
Environmental disasters, such as wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, flash flooding and severe snowstorms require constant readiness, and often pre-emptive evacuation. Acme’s experience with both standard and customized vehicles ensure that such operations are properly equipped prior to and within the demanding time frames dictated by conditions of extraordinary urgency.
The Federal Government’s civilian needs can also change rapidly from one budget cycle to the next.

Municipal Leasing ($1.00 Buyout) enables municipalities to enhance their cash flow by spreading the cost of equipment over several fiscal periods. This allows both current and future taxpayers to pay the cost, thus stretching tax dollars. Leasing also provides a hedge against inflation. Emergency Fire & Safety equipment purchased at today's prices can be budgeted in less-valuable future dollars over the term of the lease. For virtually any kind of equipment, leasing makes sense. In fact, it's the most frequently used method of equipment financing in the United States.
Qualifications for tax-exempt municipal leases:
• A passage of title to the lessee
• A bargain purchase option ($1.00)
• A breakout of principal and interest (amortization)
• The equipment being financed is for public purpose
• Lessee qualifies under section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
