COSTA MESA, Calif., April 7 (UPI) -- Ceradyne Inc., based in California, says it has been contracted by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia for armor technologies.
Under a $32.3 million deal, Ceradyne will provide the DSCP with Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts. The ESAPI technology is part of Ceradyne's line of protective armor components for the individual soldier or emergency response official and vehicle anti-ballistics protection for combat zones around the world.
Officials say the $32.3 million order will be delivered to the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia before the end of the third quarter of 2008.
"We are very pleased to have received this order and believe we will continue to ship this ESAPI product on time with the high standards of quality required," David Reed, Ceradyne president of North American operations, said in a statement. "Based on non-binding conversations with the government, we believe that there will be additional delivery orders against the blanket Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract this year."
