The contract is the second significant British selection of ESS products in the last year. In October 2004, a Contract Award Notice cited 'technical merit, quality, delivery date, price and cost effectiveness' as the primary criteria for selecting the same two ESS products for an Urgent Operational Requirement of more than 50,000 units.
Contrary to misleading press releases published earlier this year, no other manufacturer has recently supplied significant quantities of eyewear to British forces. 'ESS is honored to be exclusively selected by the UK MOD,' said ESS President and CEO John Dondero. 'They look forward to a lasting partnership in eyewear innovation to protect British soldiers.'
The ESS Advancer V-12 and ICE 2.4 are the first goggle and spectacle ever widely issued to British troops. Permanent NATO stock numbers have been cataloged. U.K. soldier modernization project teams (FIST), the PECOC program (Personnel Equipment & Common Operational Clothing) and Urban Warfare are also evaluating ESS eye protection systems.
Eye Safety Systems Inc (ESS) creates protective eyewear intended for military, firefighting, and law enforcement personnel. ESS has the dominant market share of goggles sold in the US military and firefighting markets, and ESS eyewear is sold in over 50 countries. ESS is headquartered in Sun Valley, Idaho USA.
