Feb 23, 2010 07:02:00 (ET)


CHANTILLY, Va., Feb 23, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Emtec Federal (ETEC, Trade ), a systems integrator, today announced that it has received awards from the Air Force Quarterly Enterprise Buy (QEB) program to provide Samsung 19, 24 and 32 inch flat-panel display monitors and Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Series Notebooks. All Notebooks are delivered with the latest USAF Standard Desktop Configuration fully installed. Over the next six months, Emtec Federal will manage staged deployments of these systems to agencies across all Air Force organizations worldwide. The total value of the contract is approximately $5 million.

The QEB enables the Air Force to centralize the purchase of common hardware and software products as part of an ongoing effort to streamline purchases and ensure system interoperability. The contract mandates that purchases of desktop and notebook computers be processed through the Air Force's nine major commands, and that officials consolidate hardware buys using the AFWay online procurement system to obtain optimal pricing.

"Emtec Federal has held several Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA's) with the Air Force for ten plus years and has been a key reseller in the QEB Program since its inception in 2005. This contract further demonstrates our ability to deliver the products and services that best meet the Air Force's needs," stated Jeff Posey, vice president of sales, Emtec Federal. "Emtec Federal prides itself on offering impeccable products and services, partnering with key organizations such as Samsung and Lenovo to provide the latest IT offerings. We look forward to working with the Air Force QEB program once again to help them fulfill their IT requirements around the globe."

In 2009 Emtec Federal provided over thirty-thousand Samsung flat-panel displays and several thousand Lenovo M58 Small Form Factor desktop PC's to the Air Force via multiple QEB awards. Emtec Federal has a strong track record in delivering best-in-class solutions to federal agencies through various sales vehicles including its own GSA Schedule (GS-35F-4564G), BOPnet BPA, Department of Health & Human Services Peripherals BPA, Army ADMC-2, NASA SEWP IV and the National Institutes of Health ECS3.
