German term or phrase: Standfahrzeug

Japanische Allradfahrzeuge kann die Welthungerhilfe zu Sonderkonditionen beziehen. (list of suppliers given)
Für **Standfahrzeuge** (ab Lager) hat die XXX verschiedene Bezugsmöglichkeiten, die im Einzelfall geprüft werden müssen.
Nutzfahrzeuge sind immer seltener ab Lager erhältlich. Bei der Planung sollten Lieferzeiten von bis zu neun Monaten berücksichtigt werden.

This comes as part of a set of instructions on procurement for an international aid agency. I am having a hard time imagining what a Standfahrzeug might be. Does it refer to availability or type of vehicle?
