ICOP Wins TX State DIR Contract

Marketwired
ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICOP), an industry-leading company
engaged in advancing mobile video solutions, today announced that
it has been awarded the state contract with the Texas Department of
Information Resources (DIR) to provide a cooperative purchasing
vehicle for technology products and services for agencies
throughout the State of Texas.
Texas is the largest consumer of in-car video recorders in the
United States. ICOP has closed many orders in Texas, including an
order for a county sheriff's office in South-Central Texas, which
purchased 20 units. In addition, a second sheriff's office in the
same area, purchased the ICOP Model 20/20®-W units to equip their
entire fleet of motorcycles, further validating the Company's
solution for motorcycle applications. In the first quarter of 2010
to date, Texas sales for ICOP equipment exceed $189,000, and
expected to increase.
This Texas DIR contract supersedes the existing contract through
the Texas State Procurement and Support Services (TPASS), which was
announced on January 11, 2010, and is broader in scope in that
agencies outside of the state can also purchase through this
contract via an inter-agency agreement. ICOP is the first, and
currently the only, in-car video provider to be included on the
Texas DIR contract.
"We are extremely pleased to have this contract with the Texas
DIR, the state purchasing entity for technology purchases, and we
look forward to expanding our presence in Texas, and other regions
as a result of this award," said Dave Owen, Chief Executive Officer
at ICOP.
The Texas DIR purchasing contract is available to state, county
and local agencies in Texas, and is also available to public
education and public entities outside of the State of Texas. Texas
DIR specializes in information technology procurement to ensure the
very best technological solutions are offered to its participants
at a competitive advantage, and is the exclusive authority for IT
commodities and services.
The Texas DIR program currently holds more than 600 cooperative
purchasing contracts for technology products and services. The
program saves customers money in effectively delivering the best
price for much needed equipment, and saves them time by eliminating
a lengthy, and often cumbersome, bid process.
"The Texas DIR contract enables us to get ICOP products into the
hands of current and potential customers in the State of Texas, and
across the nation, more quickly by avoiding the bid process," said
Bob Bradley, Director of National Sales and Marketing. "We plan to
heavily promote this new purchasing convention throughout the State
of Texas and outside of Texas. In addition, this also serves as a
lead generation tool for ICOP, in that any agency outside of the
originating state for this contract agreement can leverage the
Texas DIR contract pricing through an inter-agency agreement."
