GIT
Satellite Communications Awarded GSA Schedule
Contract
GIT Satellite
Communications has been awarded a United States
General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule
contract, number GS-35F-0404U. This contract
enables GIT to be listed on an approved GSA
Schedule and to sell GIT’s equipment, services,
and solutions directly to government agencies.
GIT’s inclusion as a GSA Schedule Vendor allows
government agencies to obtain special and
approved pricing from a trusted vendor. GIT also
remains committed to expanding and strengthening
its government channel, recognizing this segment
of the market as a key factor for achieving
long-term growth.
GSA establishes long-term
government wide contracts with commercial firms
to provide access to commercial supplies and
services that can be ordered directly from GSA
Schedule contractors. GSA Schedules offer
customers direct access to high-performance
solutions and services at discount pricing
including the benefits of shorter lead-times,
lower administrative costs, and reduced
inventories. When using GSA Schedules,
government ordering agencies have the
opportunity to meet small business goals, while
promoting compliance with various environmental
and socioeconomic laws and regulations.
“GIT recognizes securing a
GSA Schedule Contract is an important vote of
confidence from the U.S. government enabling the
company to increase its leverage in prospective
government accounts and further its overall
position in the government market,” said Ginger
Washburn, President and CEO of GIT Satellite
Communications. “This contract will serve to
help GIT secure new market opportunities while
strengthening our government channel to better
serve our customers.” “With the current
hurricane season upon us,” said Ms Washburn,
“GIT is better positioned to provide needed
communications and services to all segments of
the emergency first responder community.”
