Federal Government Agency Selects B&B ARMR for 24x7
Service and Maintenance of Its Perimeter Security Systems
Fairfax, VA & Irving, TX – July 15, 2004 - B&B ARMR Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (ISSI) (OTCBB:
IZZI), today announced that it has officially secured a multi-year
preventive maintenance and services contract with a federal government
agency that utilizes B&B vehicle crash barrier and gate products in its
perimeter security. One of B&B ARMR’s largest and most prestigious
government services contracts to date, this multi-year agreement
represents more than $1 million in revenue, exclusively covering 24x7
perimeter security equipment maintenance and servicing for B&B ARMR and
competitors’ products.
“This contract represents a very strong vote of confidence in B&B ARMR’s
servicing and maintenance capabilities. It’s also a positive indicator
of where our company is headed in the future as a comprehensive security
services provider,” stated Mohsen Hekmatyar, Director of B&B ARMR’s
Services Group.
Leveraging a dedicated team of trained service professionals, B&B ARMR
will be available around the clock to provide superior-quality service
for various security products used in this government agency’s perimeter
areas. Due to the high level of use and the difficult environmental
conditions in which the security products operate, B&B ARMR’s team of
technicians will regularly service the hydraulics and electronics on the
security products to ensure reliable operation.
“When we have a contract of this magnitude to service security barrier
and gate products for a government organization, ensuring that perimeter
systems are working properly during regular business hours isn’t enough.
Anti-terrorism systems must be up and running reliably around the clock
to provide adequate security for people and property,” said Hekmatyar.
“B&B ARMR is committed to delivering multi-level services, including a
24x7, three-hour emergency response guarantee for platinum-level
contracts, like this one, in the Washington, DC metro area.”
B&B ARMR is currently in negotiations for additional 24x7 preventive
maintenance services contracts with other federal government agencies
and embassies located in the Washington, DC vicinity. The company offers
customized, multi-level service packages to meet the specific needs of
government and commercial markets.
