Business Wire
Homeland Security Technology, Inc. (a Division of Amnis, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:AMNI)), announced today that HST, Inc., has been awarded a
sole-source contract to provide US Marine Corps units with tactical
entry tool kits. The Marine Corps Infantry Breacher's Kit (MCIBK)
contains entry bars, bolt cutters, battering rams, ladders and
other tools needed to affect forced entry or extrication. HST has
been working closely with military equipment planners and suppliers
to meet the requirements of fielding the most desired array of
tactical entry tools available on the commercial market. "Many
manufacturers were approached during the design phase of the
Breacher's Kit," commented Mark Wilson, HST Director of Security
Systems. "The Marine Corps Systems Command was very specific as to
the requirements for each item they felt should be included in the
MCIBK. HST's task was to find the identical manufactured items and
integrate those items into a Breacher's Kit while exhibiting to the
government that our price would be lower than our competitors."
HST's bid was matched against prime vendors and proved to be lower
in cost to other companies competing for the contract. The first
kits will be delivered to west coast units on September 30, 2005.
