Tyco
Integrated Security, a Tyco (TYC) company and the industry’s leading
security systems integrator, today announced a newly awarded term of a
national alliance cooperative contract from the National Joint Powers
Alliance® (NJPA). The awarded contract will allow more than 50,000
Public Entity members to receive competitive bid procurement access to
Tyco Integrated Security's industry-leading lines of security equipment,
systems and services.
NJPA awarded Tyco Integrated Security the contract for Facility Security
Equipment, Systems and Services with Related Equipment and Supplies
based on its product quality, superior customer service and overall
market leadership. The agreement streamlines the contracting process for
both members and selected qualified solution providers by providing
member agencies with access to quality products with a smaller impact on
resources.
“The NJPA competitive bid process ensures exceptional value to their
members and our continued relationship will enable members the take
advantage of our best in class security solutions and services,” said
Steve Leitz, director of commercial sales for Tyco Integrated Security.
“We have established NJPA customer relationships in virtually every
major market in the US and we will continue to focus on expanding that
customer base. We are also pleased that our sister company Simplex
Grinnell, the industry leader in fire protection, has been awarded a
separate contact which enables both our companies to partner and provide
a best in class solution for all life safety needs.”
Since NJPA initially awarded TycoIS this contract in 2009, the resulting
sales have grown exponentially every year. The contracting agency
awarded a four year renewal to Tyco Integrated Security with Simplex
Grinnell, a Tyco International Company and safety and property
protection provider.
“We selected TycoIS for this national contract award renewal because of
its high quality products and services, and deep roots in the integrated
security industry,” said Mike Hajek, NJPA's director of business
development and marketing. “With its broad national footprint, we’re
confident that TycoIS will have another successful contract term.”
NJPA serves as a municipal contracting agency for over 50,000 member
agencies throughout the nation with competitively awarded cooperative
contract solutions through industry-leading vendors. NJPA membership is
available to government, education and non-profit agencies located in
all 50 states at no cost, liability or obligation to the member agency.
As a public, government agency itself, NJPA responds to its members’
purchasing needs by facilitating and awarding national competitively bid
contracts. NJPA cooperative contract solutions result in valuable
product and service solutions that range from office supplies to heavy
equipment. For more information about NJPA, visit its website at www.njpacoop.org.
