SimplexGrinnell Announces New GSA Agreement for Fire and Life-Safety Services

WESTMINSTER, Massachusetts (Sept. 16, 2003) - SimplexGrinnell, a business unit of Tyco Fire & Security, today announces a new agreement for fire and life-safety services with the United States' General Services Administration (GSA). The new GSA agreement, GS-06F-0054N, provides federal agencies easy access to SimplexGrinnell's industry-leading services, including inspections and full preventive maintenance agreements on sprinklers, fire pumps and backflows, Special Hazards systems, gas and foam systems, kitchen hoods, portable extinguishers, fire hoses, self-contained breathing apparatus, e-lights, intrusion systems, access control, CCTV, sound and communications, and nurse call systems.

"Our new GSA agreement for services makes maintaining fire and security systems in federal buildings a lot easier," says Thomas Staves, SimplexGrinnell's GSA Schedule Program Manager for Service. "This simplified, all-encompassing agreement makes sense at this critical time of enhanced Homeland Security."

SimplexGrinnell's work in the government marketplace encompasses past and present projects with several agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the United States Postal Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Social Security Administration, and multiple projects for GSA-managed buildings such as the Internal Revenue Service and the United States Department of Agriculture.

SimplexGrinnell holds additional GSA agreements for Fire Detection and Alarm Products (GS-07F-0396M), Nurse Call/Patient Response Products (GS-27F-0026M) and Time Solutions Products (GS-25F-0165M). More information on SimplexGrinnell's GSA agreements is available at www.simplexgrinnell.com/gsa.
