Glacier Chain Supply to Seek GSA Schedule, Will Continue Expansion to Service Federal Agencies

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Glacier Chain Supply announced plans today to support their continued expansion and apply for a GSA Schedule to actively pursue additional federal contracts. Federal officials appreciate GSA Schedules as a means of procuring goods and services, knowing that companies on these schedules have been qualified by the General Services Administration (GSA). Glacier Chain Supply plans on expanding their business service offering to include federal and municipal agencies.

"As a growing business, the opportunity to increase our service offering to include government accounts opens up significantly more markets," states Marc Staten, President at Glacier Chain Supply. He continues, "Getting our company on a GSA schedule will expand our reach beyond the federal government to include numerous state and municipal governments as they will be able to take advantage of our safety chain and supply products at set pricing."

Glacier Chain Supply works regularly with municipal and state Transportation Departments in Alaska providing their fleets and sub-contractors with standard and customized chains vital to snow removal vehicles. These custom traction solutions are designed for both industrial and domestic clients. With a growing demand in industrial mineral exploration and extraction, the demand for purpose specific tire chains and tire protection from rough, unfinished roads has steadily increased. Glacier Chain Supply has grown their business alongside to match their client's demand for specialty products that include chain packages for transport-cargo trucks and heavy earth-moving equipment. They also carry a full-line of traction solutions for first responders including fire trucks, ambulances, and the forestry service.
