The purchase orders are part of the Company's 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, announced in May 2021, and reflect the agency's commitment to its lifecycle replacement program designed to migrate to newer, more effective portable communications platforms.
John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies commented, "We're pleased to continue our strong relationship with the USFS as they continue to upgrade their mobile equipment and technology with our BR 5000 portable communications platform. The USFS is committed to ensuring the safety and efficiency of their personnel tasked with wildland fire prevention and fire rescue across vast landscapes, and our BKR 5000 plays a pivotal role providing reliable communications capabilities in rugged environments. In addition to providing durable and consistent communications technology, the BKR 5000 is compatible with legacy radios and equipment, as the agency conducts a systemwide transition. We look forward to continuing to support the USFS with our state-of-the-art communications platform and equipment."
The United States Forest Service is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers the nation's 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands. The Forest Service manages 193 million acres of land.
Additionally, the Company announced that effective July 1, 2022 it has opened a second production line for the BKR 5000 at its manufacturing facility in West Melbourne, Florida.
"We continue to see tremendous market demand for our BKR 5000, and I am pleased to announce the opening of a second BKR 5000 production line. With the new line up and running, the combined daily total production capacity significantly ramps our production capabilities," Mr. Suzuki continued. "The BK operations team has been working around the clock to secure the components and material needed to meet the higher than expected demand from our first responder customers. The second production line is expected to alleviate much of the BKR 5000 backlog during the balance of the year and we anticipate the second production line positions us well to efficiently meet future demand."

Investors are trying to make sense of the markets, in face of conflicting signals. Year-to-date, we’re facing deep losses – but more recently, a sharp rally despite this week’s confirmation that we’re in a recession. Government data released on Thursday showed a 0.9% GDP contraction in Q2, which came on the heels of a 1.6% contraction in Q1. That’s two quarters in a row, the definition of a recession. Jim Cramer, the well-known host of CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ program, reminds us the ‘conventional wis

NEW YORK—The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday added Alibaba Group Holding to a list of Chinese companies at risk of being delisted from the U.S. exchanges if their auditors can’t be inspected before spring 2024. The move comes days after Alibaba said it would apply for a primary listing in Hong Kong, where it obtained a secondary listing in 2019. Securing a primary listing in the Asian financial hub would allow Alibaba’s shares to continue to be traded even if it is booted from the American bourse.

After dropping for the first 5 ½ months of the year, the S&P 500 has rebounded 8.5% since June 15 and 4.7% since July 26, the day before the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.

Never mind that the Fed said in its statement announcing the rate increase that it "anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range [for the federal funds rate] will be appropriate."
