July 15, 2004 - For Immediate Release
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.
