IPTV Supplier Receives ‘Superior’ Rating During the Open Ratings Evaluation Process

CARPINTERIA, Calif. — May 9, 2011 — Visionary Solutions Inc. (VSI) announced today that it has been awarded a five-year federal supply Schedule Information Technology (IT) contract by the United States General Services Administration (GSA). The contract, with three five-year extensions, has a total life of up to 20 years, and uniquely positions VSI as a company of choice for government agencies and resellers looking to purchase encoders and related equipment for the distribution of IPTV.

The GSA IT Schedule 70 gives federal agencies the ability to purchase technology equipment and services from VSI or any of its authorized reseller partners nationwide. Additionally, the contract provides a special opportunity to compete for state government business using the GSA contract cooperative purchasing program.

“The GSA Schedule award enables us to further expand our federal sales and simplifies the purchasing procedure for government agencies interested in our products and services,” said Will Bakewell, president of Visionary Solutions Inc. “Our range of solutions is very well-suited to buyers in this space. The unique combination of cost-effectiveness, format flexibility, and high reliability, along with the ability to interoperate with nearly any system component, makes VSI a smart choice for any application that requires IP video distribution.”

During the process of being granted the coveted GSA Schedule status, VSI also received a very high rating of 9.5 out of 10 on the Open Ratings evaluation process, which is a customer survey that compares a company to other rated companies in the same Standard Industry Classifications (SIC) group. VSI’s superior rating is a clear indication of the high-quality performance that the company offers in terms of reliability, cost, delivery timeliness, quality, customer support, and responsiveness, among others.

VSI is a California-based manufacturer, but the GSA Schedule award will open up opportunities for the company’s resellers and dealers all over the country. They will now be able to tap into and gain access to the vast government markets, creating additional revenue and job opportunities nationwide.

A GSA Schedule is a contract which permits government agencies to purchase commercial services and products at a prenegotiated price through a select list of authorized suppliers. The GSA Schedules program is the procurement method of choice as it significantly reduces the time and expense of acquisition for both the contractor and the federal customer.
