THORNTON, CO and WASHINGTON, DC--(NewMediaWire - Dec 2, 2015) - Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTI), a developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art, flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules integrated into the company's EnerPlex? series of consumer products, announced today the Company was awarded a Schedule 56 contract, beginning December 15th, 2015, by the General Services Administration (GSA), the procurement division of the United States Federal Government.
The contract enables Federal customers, including all four branches of the U.S. Military, Federal Agencies and others, to easily purchase a range of Ascent Solar products including: the MilPak E and EnerPlex products such as the Kickr IV and Kickr II.
"Ascent's GSA Schedule 56 contract unlocks a large and previously untapped potential revenue opportunity. The military applications for Ascent's lightweight and durable solar products are numerous, particularly considering the MilPak platform; but there are a multitude of other applications for Ascent's products ranging from disaster relief to use by the U.S. Forest Service," said Rafael Gutierrez, Senior Vice President and COO of Ascent Solar.
The granting of the GSA Schedule 56 contract is the result of a rigorous process. The GSA carefully assesses companies to determine their ability to deliver products and/or services to the Federal Government on a sustained basis. The completion of this process identifies the recipient as a preferred vendor for the Federal Government and one which is authorized to conduct commercial operations directly with Federal Agencies.
Beginning December 15th, Federal, State and local agencies may obtain information about Ascent Solar GSA Schedule 56 products at www.gsaadvantage.gov (search for Solicitation No. 7FCI-F8-03-0056-B) or by contacting Ascent Solar via ilee@ascentsolar.com.
