September 20, 2001 TestMart announced that the e-commerce marketplace at www.navicpmart.com is now live and electronically processing General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) orders for the Department of Defense Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP). Authorized buyers are now able to purchase from a catalog of products from more than 30 test and measurement suppliers. All products in the catalog have been negotiated under contract by NAVICP and comply with the Competition in Contracting Act.

Authorized purchasers include personnel in the armed services, employees of government agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration, and government contractors performing to authorized contracts.

Authorized users have a choice of payment methods including government purchase cards, government or commercial checks, commercial credit cards, and online electronic versions of the more traditional MILSTRIP (Military Standard Requisition and Issue Procedures) forms.
