Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BEAC), a global leader in the high performance provision of advanced IT solutions, today announces it has been named as the exclusive supplier of IT products and services to one of nine recipients of a recent five-year government IT infrastructure contract.
This contract was awarded through the Space and Naval Warfare (“SPAWAR”) Systems Centers, which is the government agency responsible for the acquisition, integration, fielding and logistics support of network and communications systems for the DoD and Civil Federal Agencies throughout the government.
The total dollar value of the five-year contract is worth up to $500 million. Beacon Solutions is the exclusive supplier of IT products and services to one of the nine recipients for their portion of the government work. The Company has begun receiving and processing Requests for Quotes under the contract and anticipates that it will begin recognizing related revenue during the fiscal fourth quarter ending September 30, 2009.
“The opportunity to participate in the process of upgrading our government’s IT infrastructure for the nation’s defense and logistics agencies is an honor,” said Bruce Widener, CEO of Beacon Solutions. “By assisting one of our strategic partners with their portion of this SPAWAR government contract we will strive to provide the most technologically superior products and IT management services at the most cost-effective prices for the government. Beacon is working diligently to assist with as much of the $500 million contract as possible, and we anticipate this relationship will lead to further government work in the future.”
Much of the IT infrastructure work relating to this contract consists of layer one infrastructure products including PBX, routers, switches, etc. Manufacturers include, but are not limited to, Cisco, Nortel, Juniper and Avaya. Award determinations may be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis or a best value tradeoff basis where performance, delivery and cost comparisons are made. The Government may decide to split delivery order awards among offers to pick and choose the best price from the nine contractors’ proposals.
The SPAWAR System Centers support a wide variety of DoD and other Federal agencies based on respective mission requirements. Their primary mission is to enable knowledge superiority of specific government defense agencies through the development, acquisition and life cycle support of effective, integrated “C4ISR” (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance), IT (Information Technology), and Space capabilities. As part of its mission, SPAWAR System Centers must also deliver “speed-to-capability” in support of DoD and the global war on terrorism.
