YUCAIPA, Calif., Aug. 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingen Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IGNT), a medical device manufacturer with an emerging new medical product line targeting the $8 billion respiratory market, announced today that it has received a letter of confirmation from the Armed Services Association in Washington, D.C. stating that the company is now registered with the U.S. Central Contractor Registry (CCR), which qualifies it to do business with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
The United States Military Purchasing Directory is distributed to all purchasing offices throughout the DoD every fiscal year. Purchasing officers and DoD contracting personnel specifically use the directory to locate vendors from whom they will buy goods and services. This directory now includes Ingen Technologies, Inc.
After visiting 60 military facilities and introducing Ingen's new respiratory product line that includes 2 models of the Oxyview flow meter and 6 new models of the Smart Nasal Cannulas, KGMA Business Solutions previously projected that approximately 60 military facilities had an interest in allocating unspent funds to purchase $1.4 million worth of the respiratory products by the end of this year.
"After successfully registering with the CCR, Ingen is now rapidly expanding its sales in the U.S. military marketplace," said Ingen Chairman and CEO, Scott R. Sand. "We look forward to our upcoming conference on September 8, 2010 in Frederick, Maryland, as we continue our expansion efforts."
