Astrotech Announces Listing to the GSA as an Approved United States Government Vendor
AUSTIN, Texas, April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astrotech Corporation (NASDAQ: ASTC) ("Astrotech" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, 1st Detect Corporation (1st Detect), announce that 1st Detect's TRACER 1000TM is now listed in the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) IT Schedule 70 under Contract No. GS-35F-250GA with SRI Group LLC, Special Item Number 334290. IT Schedule 70 is a long-term contract issued by the GSA to commercial technology vendors that allows sales to the U. S. federal government, one of the largest buyers of goods and services in the world. GSA's thorough evaluation determined that 1st Detect's pricing is fair and reasonable, that 1st Detect had the requisite capabilities, organizational structure, customer satisfaction and performance history, and that the offered products and services are compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
1st Detect's TRACER 1000 is a high-performance laboratory instrument of ruggedized mass spectrometry as applied to Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) and Narcotics Trace Detection (NTD). The TRACER 1000 maintains the accuracy of much larger mass spectrometers even though it is only the size of a desktop printer. While mass spectrometry has historically been too costly, bulky, and cumbersome to be used outside of the laboratory, the simple-to-use interface and auto-calibration process of the TRACER 1000 make it easy to use for rank-and-file checkpoint or other security personnel, at a fraction of the cost of traditional mass spectrometers.
The Astrotech Mass Spectrometer Technology drives the breakthrough TRACER 1000, as the first certified ETD to employ mass spectrometry. We believe the TRACER 1000 is inexpensive, small, and easy to use, with high resolution and near-zero false alarms. The TRACER 1000 is the only mass spectrometry-based ETD to have received European Civil Aviation Conference certification for both checkpoint and cargo security.
1st Detect has engaged with SRI Group LLC, a distinguished GSA provider led by retired Deputy Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) John Halinski. He brings extensive knowledge and expertise in international aviation security, intelligence and counterterrorism. He is a member of the Board of Editors for the Government Technology Services Coalition's magazine and media platform, Homeland Security Today, and is passionate about improving security and implementing the best practices and training procedures to achieve this. SRI Group LLC is a service disabled veteran owned small business, SDVOSB.
