API NSG AWARDED GSA SCHEDULE

APi NSG awarded GSA schedule

January 11, 2010 - January 11, 2010 - APi National Service Group (NSG) is pleased to announce the award of its U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedule 03FAC contract, a pre-approved and preferred federal contract that is used by thousands of federal buyers to make purchases quickly with limited paperwork, red tape and competition.

APi NSG's contract number, GS-21F-0060W, is now included on the GSA's 03FAC schedule for Facilities Maintenance and Management.

As a GSA approved schedule holder, all life safety companies within APi Group Inc. will have access to federal opportunities that would not be available without pre-approval from GSA.

APi fire protection and low-voltage companies now can provide government customers with direct access to its GSA approved pricing. As a result, the company is able to streamline the procurement process and reduce the costs of products and services to the federal government under the following categories: Special Item Number (SIN) 561-001: Fire Alarm System Preventative Maintenance and Repair Services; and SIN 561-002: Water Based Fire Suppression System Preventative Maintenance and Repair Services.

The GSA schedule establishes an immediate contracting channel between APi life safety companies and every federal buyer and most state governments. Compared to other contracting methods, approved GSA schedule contractors earn on average five times more contract revenue than non-GSA schedule contractors.
