(COMTEX) B: TVI CORP - Awarded Contract by DoD Supply Center B: TVI CORP - Awarded Contract by DoD Supply Center New York, New York, Dec. 05, 2000 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- TVI Corporation announced that it had been awarded a contract to supply its tactical shelters and utilities trailers to the Department of Defense. The contract is for a period of one year with options for three additional years. The contract is an indefinite quantity type and purchase quantities if any cannot be projected. The contract was awarded after open competition including a site visit and product evaluation. Allen Bender, president of TVI, reported that the company was using the contract to launch its ModCom shelter line, an improved family of modular, complexing tactical shelters. "These performance capabilities are of particular interest to DoD" he said, "because the military likes to have a minimum number of standard items which can be adapted to a variety of applications." Mr. Bender noted that "the company's patented articulating shelter frame provides the ruggedness and flexibility for joining shelters and vehicles into integrated housing/equipment/office facilities of many sizes and shapes." The ModCom shelter family includes frames with interior widths of 10.5, 13.5, and 16.0 feet wide, each in several lengths. The company believes that the military market will present many opportunities for its articulating frame shelters. "Communications-Electronics (C-E) applications have been the mainstay in the past" Mr. Bender noted. "However," he said, "applications such as tactical operations centers, collective protection systems, and field medical facilities will likely be major requirements in the future. Tactical grade shelters which are highly portable and rapidly deployable are essential for the computerized battlefield." TVI is a fully reporting company under SEC regulations. Its common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol TVIN. More information is available at www.tvicorp.com.
