SimiGon signs Blanket Purchase Agreement with the US Department of Defense
SimiGon (LSE: SIM), a global leader in providing simulation training solutions, is pleased to announce that SimiGon has signed a Blanket Purchase Agreement ("BPA") with the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") Enterprise Software Initiative ("ESI"). Under the BPA, SimiGon and the DoD ESI have established agreed pricing and processes for government customers to purchase the Company's products and services.
ESI is an official DoD initiative sponsored by the DoD Chief Information Officer to both establish and manage enterprise commercial off-the-shelf IT agreements, assets, and policies. DoD ESI lowers the total cost of ownership across the DoD, Coast Guard and Intelligence Communities for commercial software, IT hardware, and services.
The DoD ESI provides an effective method for approved software publishers, hardware vendors and service providers to streamline sales to the DoD ESI customers. The total potential sales amount for all selected vendors under this BPA is approximately $238.6 million over a period of 10 years commencing 1 April 2019.
SimiGon President and CEO, Ami Vizer, said: "We are delighted to join DoD ESI under this BPA. Through signing the BPA, SimiGon joins blue chip technology companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and Adobe as an official DoD ESI BPA contract holder.
The BPA is another validation of SimiGon's technology, software products and business model as a viable solution for Federal agencies seeking advanced training and simulation solutions for multiple domains."
