RADVISION is Awarded U.S. GSA Contract
FAIR LAWN, New Jersey, August 22, 2006 --RADVISION (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation networks, announced today that the United States General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded the company a five-year Federal Supply Schedule contract for the purchase of equipment and services (#GS-35F-0506S).
Based on a rigorous vendor qualification process, the award enables U. S. government agencies to procure RADVISION products and services through authorized resellers at competitive, pre-negotiated rates. Under the terms of five federal schedules (SIN 132-8, SIN 132-12, SIN 132-33, SIN 132-34, and SIN 132-50), RADVISION is pre-qualified to provide agencies with a broad range of communications equipment, software, maintenance services and training.
“This contract is very important and part of our strategy for developing long-term relationships with government agencies in the U.S. The contract also reflects growing confidence in our SCOPIATM v.5 family of infrastructure products including MCU’s, gateways, gatekeepers and more, all of which are included on the federal schedules. The selection process is quite thorough, and only leading companies that meet strict criteria based on the type of technology, service, and quality survey results are awarded contracts,” says Ron Bleakney, General Manager RADVISION Americas. “RADVISION is proud to play a part in helping U.S. government agencies work better and be more productive.”
Purchasing from GSA Schedule contracts offers U.S. government agencies many advantages, such as ensured legal and regulatory compliance, and a wide variety of state-of-the-art commercial supplies and services.
“The GSA contract provides a very streamlined way for Federal Agencies to purchase RADVISION SCOPIA and Click to Meet products and services at competitive prices,” says Tom Volk, Sr. Vice President Federal Sales, of Wire One. “As a major reseller and integrator of RADVISION products, we believe that this will facilitate the use of RADVISION solutions in many new deployments in the education, government and healthcare sectors.”
