SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lighting Science Group Corporation® (OTCBB: LSCG) one of the world's leading LED lighting technology companies, announced today it has received GSA Multiple Award Schedule vendor status. The GSA Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program enables Lighting Science to establish long-term government contracts for its leading LED lighting solutions.

The GSA Schedules program is the premier acquisition vehicle in government, with approximately $50 billion a year in spending or 10 percent of overall federal procurement spending. GSA Schedules are fast, easy, and effective contracting vehicles for both customers and vendors. For GSA Schedules, GSA establishes long-term, government-wide contracts with commercial companies to provide access to millions of commercial products and services at volume discount pricing.
Lighting Science designs, engineers and manufactures innovative LED lighting with a holistic approach to R&D, turning ideas into intelligent LED lighting solutions faster, better and more successfully than the competition.
