Richardson, TX--AMX announced that a collection of its government dealers have been awarded a $500 Million, five year, Multiple Award Contract (MAC) from Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), Charleston. The contract is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Audio Visual Systems Equipment contract.
According to the official U.S. Navy website, “the purpose of this procurement is to provide SPAWAR Atlantic with rapid access to turnkey solutions to the warfighter with the objective of fostering improvement initiatives that include mission effectiveness, efficient utilization of resources, and volume discounts.”
AMX solutions have been tested and approved as high-performance audio-visual solutions that meet existing and future mission support requirements and can be directly specified by government buyers.
“AMX is committed to providing our government buyers with the most robust, secure AV solutions that are second to none," said John Hanby, AMX vice president of government sales. "This award further confirms the DoD’s confidence in AMX enterprise-wide solutions as well as the design and implementation capabilities of our dealers and system integrators.”
