According to the contract, I.D. Systems will provide competitive terms of sale and pre-negotiated prices with the aim of saving the US government time, money and resources. As a result, any government entity can order a combination of the company’s hardware, software and services worth up to $2.5m without seeking further competitive bids.

Greg Smith, I.D. Systems’ vice president of marketing, said: This General Services Administration (GSA) contract will provide government agencies with ready access to our proven wireless solutions for managing vehicles and other powered assets, and enable those agencies to achieve the same improvements in safety, productivity and cost containment that our many commercial customers enjoy.

The multiple award schedule contract has an initial term of five years, with up to three additional five-year option periods, for a total maximum duration of 20 years.
