TELESPECTRA, LLC AWARDED STATE CONTRACT FOR TELECOMMUNICATION CARRIER SERVICES

SCOTTDALE, ARIZONA - January 13, 2006. Scottsdale-based Telespectra, LLC was named by the State of Arizona's Enterprise Procurement Services (EPS) Division as a primary contractor for Telecommunication Carrier Services.

EPS, through their Value in Procurement (VIP) program, streamlines purchasing activities for state entities looking to qualify vendors for the purchase of Technology and Telecommunications Contracts, Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Equipment and Supplies Contracts, and Construction Projects. By pre-qualifying quality suppliers EPS eliminates the need for government facilities to submit for such services through a lengthy RFP process. A total of seven companies were named by the state as preferred/prime vendors for Telecommunication Carrier Services.

Telespectra has partnership arrangements with AT&T, Tempe-based Ensynch, Telespectra's sister company AZX Connect (a competitive local exchange carrier, CLEC) and other industry/technology leaders for the fulfillment of government-related contracts and services.
