March 5, 2007—MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDII), a leading provider of Unified Technology solutions for the security industry, has received an initial Blanket Purchase Order totaling $25.3 million dollars from Stratis Authority for its Learn Safe school safety and security program.
The order was based on an initial Scope of Work submitted by MDI and approved by Stratis Authority to provide security products and professional services to multiple school districts located in the Southeast.
The order calls for MDI, Inc. through its Global Systems Solutions, Inc. subsidiary (GSS) to provide turnkey security packages to schools within each district. The products and services include unified access control, video surveillance products, professional services, installation, training and maintenance.
Over the past six months, MDI has assembled a team of industry professionals to manage and perform the tasks required to successfully implement the LearnSafe program for Stratis Authority. The GSS team will manage all aspects of the projects.
The Learn Safe program developed by Stratis Authority, offers a variety of security core competencies to educational institutions across the US. The program identifies problems faced by teachers and administrators in a format that is tailored to each locality and strives to minimize the visible infrastructure usually associated with traditional high-security systems (i.e., detectors, physical screening and armed security officers).
