VALENCIA, CALIF. - December
7, 2005 - Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle
control systems used in the United States and internationally, today announced
that it has earned an "Outstanding" vendor rating from the Government
Services Administration (GSA). The GSA negotiates formal contracts between vendors
and the U.S. government so that any federal agency can directly purchase products
and services at pre-negotiated terms and pricing.
Delta has supplied more than $54 million worth of equipment to the federal government
via the program.
"Our GSA contract permits U.S. agencies to make direct purchases of Delta's
counter-terrorist products in a timely manner, enabling them to better protect
our nation's infrastructure and U.S. troops overseas," said Delta Scientific
Senior Vice President David Dickinson. "We are pleased to report that,
after completing an onsite audit of our business practices and contract management,
the GSA has given Delta a rating of Outstanding."
Vendors in the program are evaluated based on several factors, including on-time
delivery of products, living up to warranty terms, compliance with the Trade
Agreement Act, compliance with the scope of their contracts, maintaining current
approved price lists, and ensuring that prices listed in the GSA Advantage!
program match those on the current approved price list.
Delta Scientific met or exceeded the program's requirements in all categories.
Delta has supplied counter-terrorist barricade systems to over 160 U.S. embassies
and consulates in 130-plus countries as well as those of the United Kingdom
and other nations. In the United States alone, Delta has secured over 110 Federal
buildings, including courthouses and FBI locations. Over 85 percent of all U.S.
nuclear power plants are protected by Delta vehicle barricade systems.
Delta Scientific systems also protect the U.S. Capitol and other Washington
landmark buildings, high-rises throughout the world, Broadway pedestrians in
New York City, corporate facilities, the Singapore parliament, power and water
infrastructure locales, European castles and the private homes of celebrities
and influential people in Beverly Hills and other upscale communities.
