A panel from industry and government selected Source One among a field of service disabled veteran owned, woman owned, veteran owned, 8(a), hubzone, and SBA certified small disadvantaged businesses.

“This is a very exciting award for us because it recognizes our organization’s commitment to FAS and the
GSA contracting vehicles,” said Source One President and CEO, Mark Llano. “GSA and FAS have
allowed us to offer more innovative ways of procurement to our customer base in support of our mission
to provide improved distribution, best of class equipment and quality customer service to today’s war
fighter.”

As an award recipient, Mark Llano, CEO and President will represent Source One at the 2009 Excellence

Chameleon Rapid Detection Kit

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Developed by Morphix Technologies under a grant from the United States Marine Corps to provide low-cost, disposable chemical detection, the Chameleon Rapid Detection Kit is designed to be passive and simple to use. It is an inexpensive option for military, first responders, or LE who may come operate around Clandestine Drug Labs or other HAZMAT.

Chameleon Rapid Detection Kit

Various kits are available but each contains 100 cassettes and at least one armband for hands-free detection of gases and vapors in the air. The armband comes in two sizes and can be worn on the forearm, upper arm, or lower leg. Additionally, the cassette housing can be removed from the armband and attached to any velcro panel.

Chameleon Rapid Detection Kit Cassettes

The Chameleon is field configurable from one to 10 cassettes which simply snap into place on the housing. Exposure detection is simple. If half of a cassette’s window changes color, the agent is present. Each cassette has a service life of 24 hours and can be immersed in fresh or salt water for up to an hour. A kit comes with 20 each of low pH (acid), high pH (base), chlorine/fluorine, phosgene, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, phosphine, iodine, or hydrogen sulfide. There is also a training kit available.

The Chameleon Rapid Detection Kit is available from Source One Distributors.

Source One and ViaGlobal Group Form Alliance

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

ViaGlobal, LLC, a tailored training and leadership organization supporting the United States military and United States Government, and Source One Distributors, Inc. recently confirmed a teaming arrangement that will allow both companies to provide additional enhanced goods and services to the United States Armed Forces. Source One is well known to our readers for its participation in the Special Operational Equipment Tailored Logistics Support program and ViaGlobal most recently was awarded a contract to manage and operate the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center near Amman, Jordan.

The $200 million KASOTC facility is situated in a 1,235-acre quarry and the compound consists of fully equipped grenade ranges, a 100-meter rifle and pistol range, and a 300-meter rifle range. An eight-story structure for climbing, rappelling, and distance shooting serves as a centerpiece of the facility. There is also a full-scale A-300 Airbus fuselage for aircraft training, and a close-quarters battle (CQB) house with a three-story armored facility and adjoining five-story tower that provides room-to-room combat practice using live fire.

“We are very excited to work with ViaGlobal,” said Source One President & CEO, Mark Llano. “From our time spent with them at KASOTC we knew that we were getting a teaming partner that was committed to doing everything possible to support our troops in the field.”

The relationship is a win-win for both companies. Leveraging ViaGlobal’s knowledge base of former military and government leaders, as well as their network of contacts in the industry, Source One will not only gain a competitive edge in the marketplace but also be able to expand its already vast customer base. Alternatively, utilizing Source One’s award winning distribution capabilities and procurement vehicles, ViaGlobal will be able to significantly grow the range of products and services they offer to the warfighter.
