Compudyne wins Treasury bureau security work

CompuDyne Corp. won a five-year, $25.4 million contract to furnish security services to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Under the contract, Quanta Systems Corp., a Compudyne unit, will supply staff who will handle security systems installations, operation, maintenance and monitoring requirements at the bureau's Washington currency production facility.

Quanta staff working on the contract have supervisory, operating and monitoring experience with security system installations.

Quanta is about to enter the second year of this contract. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing did not announce the award until last week because of a lengthy confirmation process, the company said.

A division of the Treasury Department, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing designs, engraves and prints U.S. currency, some postage stamps and other U.S. security documents.

Quanta Systems Corp. is the integrated electronics division of Annapolis, Md.-based Compudyne.
