International Electronics, Inc. and Security Industry Association Lobby for Continued Government Purchasing Schedule.

Continue to Push for GSA Schedule 84 Cooperative Purchasing

CANTON, Mass. -- International Electronics, Inc. (IEI) (OTCBB: IEIB), a leading manufacturer of electronic access control solutions, said today that it is continuing to promote the extension of GSA Cooperative Purchasing program to Schedule 84 in conjunction with the industry group Security Industry Association (SIA). This policy change will have a significant positive impact for IEI's authorized GSA dealers seeking increased business opportunities with state and local governments.

In conjunction with SIA, Jim Lynch, IEI's director of Government Markets, met with senior staff to Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) -- a key member of the House committee with oversight of GSA and cooperative purchasing. IEI is headquartered in Congressman Lynch's district. After a persuasive SIA and IEI presentation, it became clear that Rep. Lynch's staff was interested in becoming a supporter of this key SIA initiative.

Jim Lynch, IEI's director of Government Markets said, "IEI was pleased to sponsor this highly productive meeting. The schedule 84 cooperative purchasing initiative benefits GSA contract holders, as well as the states and taxpayers. Simply put: the initiative lets IEI's authorized dealers and all SIA members offer the states best value pricing and streamlined procurement for the latest state-of-the-art physical security solutions." IEI plans to continue adding highly qualified dealers throughout the country to its GSA program.

Through the active involvement of IEI and other SIA members speaking out in favor of cooperative purchasing on Capitol Hill, the issue gains even more credibility in the eyes of congressional staff and therefore dramatically improved chances of passage.
