Federal Resources receives $4.5 million contracts to provide U.S. Air Force with advanced hazmat identification equipment HazMatID and APD 2000 add a new layer of hazardous materials detection and identification to Air Force facilities throughout Chester, MD, 21 March 2007 - Federal Resources, today announced it has received three contracts from the United States Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency (AFCESA), totaling $4.5 million. Under the contracts, the company will provide HazMatIDs, portable chemical identifiers, and APD 2000s, chemical detection systems. The orders, which will be delivered in early 2007, represent one quarter of the Air Force’s ongoing deployment to 260 bases worldwide. In response to the recent funding made available through the USAF Emergency Response Program, the Air Force has deployed these systems to their Civil Engineering Readiness and Fire teams, who will use the equipment to identify Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) and other unknown liquid, solid or vapor threats, in seconds. “AFCESA’s addition of the HazMatID and APD2000 brings a whole new level of chemical detection capabilities to Air Force Emergency Responders,” said Robert McWilliams, Safety Sales Director of Federal Resources. “We have worked closely with the Air Force on the initial implementations and look forward to a long-term relationship of adding premiere detection products coupled with our world class service and unmatched Reachback support.”
